4.2-magnitude quake hits Reno area
RENO — Authorities say a 4.2-magnitude earthquake that jolted the Truckee Meadows near Reno rattled nerves but caused no injuries or major damage.
A store employee in Spanish Springs told the Reno Gazette-Journal the quake sounded like a large truck passing and made store shelves sway, but nothing fell.
The University of Nevada, Reno, earthquake lab says the quake struck at 5:51 p.m. Monday about 7.5 miles northeast of Sun Valley.
It was felt almost 90 miles to the west in Nevada City, Calif.
Ken Smith at the lab says the quake was the largest of several in the same location over the past week.
Washoe County Emergency Manager Aaron Kenneston called the temblor the largest in the region since a swarm near Verdi and Mogul in 2008.
