Over the past 30 days, Nevada has recorded 17 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. The remaining 17 fell in the M2.5–M3.9 band. By depth: 17 shallow (<70 km). 9 of the epicenters were offshore. 9 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 35 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Focal depths ranged from 1.1 km to 14.5 km. All 17 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
