Large Cluster of Little Earthquakes Hit North Reno

The Nevada Seismological Laboratory says there have been at least 32 small earthquakes in the north Reno area since November 28th. The largest, a magnitude 1.9, was on Saturday a little after 2:00 in the afternoon in the area of the Northtowne Marketplace shopping center. Lab officials say that a cluster of small earthquakes means there is a slightly greater chance that there will be a larger earthquake, although clusters of quakes are typical for western Nevada. The lab continues monitoring the quakes.
