The Nevada Seismological Laboratory in Reno is reporting another earthquake for the Carson Valley. The most recent one registered 3.5 and was located 11.8 miles southeast of Gardnerville at 9:31 p.m. Friday, June 9.
This follows a small swarm of quakes in the area that started on Tuesday, June 6 when a 3.9 tremor occurred.
In the Mammoth Lakes region tonight there have been six earthquakes 1.1 - 2.1.
The Carson Valley and all of Northern Nevada and the Sierra Nevada are not strangers to earthquakes as the area is full of fault lines. See our recent story on this: http://southtahoenow.com/story/06/07/2017/earthquake-swarm-carson-valley-not-out-ordinary.
