A shallow magnitude 3.6 earthquake was reported around noon near Elko, Elko County, Nevada, USA.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Monday, September 22nd, 2025, at 12:55 pm local time at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Valmy (pop. 37, 40 miles away), Battle Mountain (pop. 3,600, 44 miles away), Carlin (pop. 2,300, 45 miles away), and Elko (pop. 20,300, 53 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
