Fallon-area Aftershocks Continue After 5.49 Quake
A magnitude-5.49 earthquake about 17 miles southwest of Fallon, Nevada, has been followed by a sequence of aftershocks ranging from 2.09 to 3.71 in the same area. Scientists from the Nevada Seismological Laboratory say aftershocks could continue for days as they study the activity to help map and name a potential new fault. Officials report no significant damage or injuries so far, but Lyon and Churchill Counties will continue damage assessments in the coming days amid residents’ accounts of strong shaking.
