Residents react to 4.8 earthquake in Caliente, Nevada
CALIENTE, Nevada () — A 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit the area of Caliente, Nevada around 1 a.m. Friday morning.
It was a light earthquake 25 miles south southwest of Caliente according to reports, but residents were still able to feel it.
'I was in the kitchen cooking cookies for our yard sale this weekend, all of a sudden there was a rumbling!' one resident told
The earthquake had a depth of three miles, and it could be felt for almost 60 miles.
'We're so used to the trains coming in and out, that that's not– It's almost, I'd say, soothing for somebody that was born here, but that was definitely not like that. You could feel it shake the house,' another resident said.
She also said that she has a dog that gets scared by thunderstorms and other loud noises, so she was waiting for it to stop.
'We have a lot of sonic booms, you know, a lot of, I guess, Nellis Air Force activity, so they do a lot of training and stuff, so I thought it was something like that, but it just went a lot longer,' she continued.
Joseph DeGolyer contributed to the reporting of this story.
