The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.8 quake in the United States near Tonopah, Nye County, Nevada, only 13 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Monday, May 25th, 2026, at 1:52 am local time at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles. 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.
