Series of Small Earthquakes Rattle Northern Nevada

December 13, 2017

The Nevada Seismological Laboratory confirmed a series of small earthquakes rattling north Reno, Nev.

Some 32 small earthquakes were reported being felt since Nov. 28.

The largest detected had a magnitude of 1.9.

Officials say there is a slight increase in the probability of a larger event during an ongoing sequence of earthquakes, but clusters of smaller earthquakes are typical in the western Nevada region.
