Small earthquake of magnitude 3.1 just reported 17 miles southeast of Mina, Nevada, United States
3.1 quake 19 Mar 6:16 pm (GMT -7)

A very shallow magnitude 3.1 earthquake was reported early evening near Mina, Mineral County, Nevada, USA.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Friday 19 March 2021 at 6:16 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 3.7 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 2.8 earthquake.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Mina (pop. 160) located 17 miles from the epicenter. In Tonopah (pop. 2,500, 40 miles away), and Hawthorne (pop. 3,300, 44 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
