Nevada Quake Triggers 100+ Aftershocks Near Fallon as Scientists Map a New Fault
A magnitude 5.49 earthquake about 17 miles southwest of Fallon, NV, generated more than 100 aftershocks (at least 120 by Tuesday) with no major damage or injuries reported; aftershocks are expected to continue for days to months and scientists will deploy aftershock kits to improve coverage while mapping a potentially unnamed fault near Mason Valley.
