Over the past 30 days, Nevada has recorded 11 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. The remaining 11 fell in the M2.5–M3.9 band. By depth: 11 shallow (<70 km). 4 of the epicenters were offshore. 7 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 14 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Focal depths ranged from -1.3 km to 14.5 km. 10 of the 11 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist; the remaining 1 are automatic and may be refined.
