Mina, NV – A minor earthquake was recorded Tuesday afternoon about 43 kilometers east-northeast of Mina, Nevada, according to preliminary data from the Nevada Seismological Laboratory.
The quake, which struck at 6:28 a.m. local time (13:28 UTC), registered a magnitude 2.7 at a depth of 8.8 kilometers. Early reports show no significant damage or injuries, and no residents have yet filed “Did You Feel It?” responses with the U.S. Geological Survey.
According to the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, the epicenter lies within a seismically active stretch of the central Nevada desert, an area that routinely experiences light to moderate earthquakes. Tremors of this size are typically felt only near the epicenter and rarely cause structural damage.
Residents are encouraged to report any shaking experiences to the USGS “Did You Feel It?” system, which helps scientists improve local seismic monitoring and preparedness.
