Magnitude 5.5 Earthquake Strikes Nevada, Shaking Felt Across California

The quake, centered near Yerington, Nevada, caused no reported injuries or damages but was followed by multiple aftershocks.

The earthquake, originally recorded as a magnitude 5.8 and later downgraded to 5.5, struck northeast of Yerington, Nevada, at 3:08 p.m. local time on Monday.
Shaking was felt as far west as San Francisco and Sacramento, with residents reporting light to moderate movement in affected areas.
The quake occurred at a shallow depth of approximately 4 to 8.4 kilometers, making its effects more noticeable near the epicenter.
At least 14 aftershocks have been recorded, with magnitudes ranging from 2.5 to 4.2, in the hours following the initial temblor.
This event follows a magnitude 7.0 earthquake off Northern California’s coast last week, which prompted a brief tsunami warning and caused significant shaking in Humboldt County.
