Central Nevada rocked by 6.5 earthquake, numerous aftershocks
Things are getting shaken up in the Tonopah area. Hwy 95 temporarily closed. Some pretty good cracking in the pavement.

There was a small quake around six this morning. I looked it up and it was only 3.8M. It seemed more like a 5.0M to me. What did y'all think?

Seismic Data of a 3.8 Earthquake in Little Lake, CA
This quake was about nine miles more or less north of the big quake last July. The fault involved was the Airport Lake Fault and not the Little Lake Fault. Not that that really matters all that much, but it might for all I know.

6.0 SSE of Lone Pine at 10:41 AM on June 24, 2020
That would put it very close to Olancha and 395. If the highway was damaged, that would be a major issue for a lot of people. Any stuff knocked off the shelf at WalMart? Any power outages?
