The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 5.9 quake in the United States near Carson City, Carson City County, Nevada, only 3 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Thursday, December 4th, 2025, at 8:06 am local time at a very shallow depth of 5 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been felt by everybody in the area of the epicenter. In those areas, dangerous ground shaking occurred with the potential to inflict moderate to heavy damage to buildings and other infrastructure.
Towns or cities where the quake likely caused strong ground shaking include
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Carson City (pop. 58,600) located 14 miles from the epicenter, and Sparks (pop. 96,100) 24 miles away.
In Reno (pop. 264,200) located 26 miles from the epicenter, Sun Valley (pop. 19,300) 28 miles away, Fernley (pop. 19,400) 29 miles away, Spanish Springs (pop. 15,100) 30 miles away, and South Lake Tahoe (pop. 21,700) 33 miles away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
