Up-to-date earthquake information available on USGS website

In my nearly 40 years as a Reno area resident, I have felt just a few earthquakes. However in the past few weeks I have felt 3 quakes, part of a swarm that started in late February that have been centered around Mogul/Somersett area. The quakes have measured around 3.0 and less, but the number of quakes swarmed in one area is alarming. The Nevada Seismological Laboratory has even dedicated a special web page to the recent activity.

If you’re interested in viewing earthquake activity you can visit the U.S. Geological Survey’s Real-Time Earthquake maps for California/Nevada at http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm In my web browser I have created a link in my “Favorites” to a more detailed webpage which shows a map zoomed-in on the Reno area, and lists detailed information about every earthquake in a pane on the bottom of the page.
