Reports of a magnitude 2.4 earthquake 51 km NE of Valmy, Nevada came in on January 30, 2026 at 23:54 UTC. Coming 9 hours after a magnitude 2.5 earthquake in the immediate vicinity, it is most likely an aftershock of that larger rupture. At a depth of 10.2 km, the event was shallow crustal. The event was offshore — common for earthquakes along subduction zones and transform plate boundaries. Coordinates: 41.146°, -116.728°. The solution has been reviewed by a USGS seismologist and is considered finalized. See the M2.4 event page for the full report, ShakeMap, and citizen-reported intensity data.
