Over the past 30 days, Nevada has recorded 22 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. The remaining 22 fell in the M2.5–M3.9 band. By depth: 22 shallow (<70 km). 18 of the epicenters were offshore. 4 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 4 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Focal depths ranged from 0.0 km to 12.7 km. 19 of the 22 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist; the remaining 3 are automatic and may be refined.
