Nevada Earthquake Largest in 66 Years

I have an app on my phone that texts me every time an earthquake of 6.0 or larger happens anywhere in the world.  Yesterday it went off again. “There will be earthquakes in various places”- Jesus

An earthquake with a revised magnitude of 6.5 hit a remote area of Nevada on Friday morning, about 225 miles northwest of Las Vegas and near the California border, the US Geological Survey says.
The quake, which was 4.7 miles deep, occurred at 4:03 a.m. local time, the USGS says.
The revised ranking makes the quake the first large one since 1954, said Graham Kent, director of the Nevada Seismological Laboratory.
"As the third most seismic state in the nation, we kind of had a streak of not having big earthquakes for 66 years," Kent said.
