Small magnitude 3.8 quake hits 41 miles southeast of Fallon, Nevada, United States in the morning

An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 occurred only 5 minutes ago 41 miles southeast of Fallon, Nevada, United States, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of miles beneath the epicenter near Fallon, Churchill County, Nevada, USA, in the morning on Monday, January 26th, 2026, at 7:31 am local time. 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 3.8 earthquake as well. A third agency, The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.8.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Gabbs (pop. 270) located 26 miles from the epicenter, and Fallon (pop. 8,500) 41 miles away. In Hawthorne (pop. 3,300, 56 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
