Nevada 5.8 earthquakeA 5.8-magnitude earthquake hit Nevada Monday afternoon, according to the United States Geological Survey, with shaking felt as far west as California.

The quake struck 15 miles north-northeast of the town of Yerington, about 40 miles east of Carson City, at 3:08 p.m. local time. More than 10,000 people reported feeling the earthquake on the U.S. Geological Survey website in a little over two hours after it hit.

Fourteen aftershocks struck the same area before 5:30 p.m., ranging in size from 2.5 to 4.2. The initial quake's depth was reported at a relatively shallow 8.4 kilometers beneath the earth's surface. Any quake less than 70 kilometers deep is considered to be shallow by USGS standards.
