A M4.9 about 11:40pm Friday, and more smaller ones
continue to shake that area.
I was surprised to see that the area IS capable
of a M7 quake, with multiple faults running thru
the area.

Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology has a nice historical summary of
large quakes in the Reno/Carson City area at http://134.197.46.69/dox/nl/nl14.htm

I live in the SF Bay area and track the earthquakes for the Cal-Nevada
region. So far it seems to be a "swarm" already going on for two
months.
"The big one" is always conjecture,but all can be done is to keep
supplies for at least three days.

Not to mention all the 3+ quakes popping up accross the whole state of
Neveda & in eastern California in the last 24 hours (it is Sunday
evening PDT as I am writing this.) It's almost like that whole area is
getting ready to puke!
My sister's family is in Vegas & my parents will be there in the next
few weeks. This is a bit unnerving to say the least.
I started looking at dates for these but messed up the dat somewhat so
stopped working on it till I got over the downer. I got the last
century to check up but here is the 19th:
15 Mar. 1860 Pyramid Lake? VI 7
29 May 1868 Virginia City VII 6
26 Dec. 1869 Virginia City VI 6.7
27 Dec. 1869 Steamboat Springs VIII 6.1
3 June 1887 Genoa VIII 6
18 Nov. 1894 Virginia City VI ?
2 Jan. 1896 Carson City VI ?
15 May 1897 Carson City V ?
1 Feb. 1914 Reno VI-VII 6
24 Apr. 1914 Reno VII-VIII 6.4
9 Apr. 1930 SE Lake Tahoe VI 4.3
2 June 1933 Wabuska VII 6.1
3 Dec. 1942 Reno VI 5.9
2 Dec. 1948 Verdi VII 6
9 May 1952 Steamboat Springs VII 5.1
1 Sep. 1966 Truckee VII 6
4 Sep. 1978 Genoa VI 5.2
2 Jan. 1991 Carson City V-Vl 4.6
1860 1868 1869 1887 1894 1896 1897

There is a common factor in them, they (not all of them) occur after a
sequence of similar lunar phases. Some occur during the run and some
when the run ends. |
