An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 occurred only 9 minutes ago 56 miles northwest of Elko, Nevada, United States, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 6.1 miles beneath the epicenter near Elko, Elko County, Nevada, USA, around noon on Saturday, August 30th, 2025, at 12:03 pm local time. 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 not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Valmy (pop. 37) located 28 miles from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Battle Mountain (pop. 3,600) located 33 miles from the epicenter, Golconda (pop. 210) 39 miles away, Carlin (pop. 2,300) 44 miles away, Crescent Valley (pop. 390) 49 miles away, Winnemucca (pop. 7,900) 51 miles away, and Elko (pop. 20,300) 56 miles away.
