5.4 earthquake Las Vegas

5.4 quake Las Vegas, A size 5.4 tremor struck Nevada on Friday near to the residential community of Caliente, upper east of the visitor center point of Las Vegas, the U.S. Topographical Survey said.

It said the epicenter of the tremor, which was very shallow at a profundity of just 12 miles (19.4 km), was 24 miles from Caliente, a town of a little more than 1,000 individuals, near to the fringe with Utah.

A dispatcher with the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department, close to the shake's epicenter, said it had been felt generally over the district, yet that there were no prompt reports of harm.

The shake, which the USGS said was taken after under after 20 minutes by a littler 3.8 extent temblor, could be felt as far away as Las Vegas, around 100 miles toward the southwest.
