Earthquake Update: Epicenter located closer to Carson City near Washoe Lake
The Earthquake which shook our region just before 10 p.m. Thursday night has now been updated, with the epicenter thought to be near Washoe Lake, just past the Carson "county" lines.
Originally, the epicenter of the 3.7 magnitude quake was thought to have been located in South Reno near Arrowcreek Golf Course, 12 km from Carson City.
Now the official report states the epicenter is located "8 km southwest of Virginia City," according to the USGS website.
Now wonder people from Virginia City, Carson, Dayton, and Reno were able to feel it, as the epicenter was nearly dead on for the crossing of county lines, as seen in the second photo.
