A very shallow magnitude 3.7 earthquake was reported early morning near Carson City, Carson City County, Nevada, USA.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Friday, September 6th, 2024, at 5:07 am local time at a very shallow depth of 1.2 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.7 as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Topaz Lake (pop. 160) located 3 miles from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Topaz Ranch Estates (pop. 1,500) located 6 miles from the epicenter.
