Small Earthquakes Hit Reno
April 25, 2008
A series of minor earthquakes hit the Reno, Nev., area Thursday, with the largest ones rattling some buildings in the city.
The U.S. Geological Survey said there were about 30 quakes that measured 1.0 or more on the Richter scale, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported. No injuries were reported.
Thousand of quakes occur every day, but most are below 3.0 on the Richter scale, too light to be felt.
The two strongest quakes in Reno occurred just before 4 p.m. Thursday and measured 4.1 and 4.2 on the Richter scale. Earthquakes of that magnitude cause noticeable shaking but rarely cause any damage.
