SILVER SPRINGS, Nevada — A preliminary magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck Silver Springs, Nevada on Monday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake struck just before 6:30 p.m. 

People reported feeling shaking from Nevada to Sacramento. There are no immediate reports of damage. 

A Safeway and a Walgreens in Fallon, Nevada, a city about 30 miles from the epicenter, told ABC10 items fell off shelves during the earthquake. 

ShakeAlert, which sends out mobile alerts once an earthquake’s waves are detected, warned people in Eastern California of the impending shaking. 

“It took about 16 seconds to detect the earthquake, which for earthquake early warning, it’s a pretty long time,” said Dr. Angie Lux, a project scientist with Early Earthquake Warning at the Berkeley Seismology Lab.  “But, it’s just because we don’t have as many stations in that area.”

Lux says the Berkeley Seismology Lab is excited about exploring a potential buildout of the alert system in Nevada. ShakeAlert is currently operating in California, Oregon and Washington state.

An earthquake in Silver Springs, Nevada isn’t entirely unexpected for the area, according to Lux. 

More than 40 aftershocks have been detected since the earthquake Monday night, according to the U.S. Geological Survey online earthquake map.

“We would expect to see aftershocks for a while afterwards,” said Lux. “But as far as the exact number, it can vary between earthquake sequence.”

The amount of aftershocks an earthquake can produce is reliant on the magnitude of the quake.

“If we have a very large earthquake, we can see that impacting other earthquakes, other faults nearby and potentially even triggering earthquakes,” said Lux. “But in this case, I would not expect to see something triggering an earthquake in California.”
