The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.8 quake in the United States near Tonopah, Nye County, Nevada, only 11 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the evening on Sunday, March 1st, 2026, at 9:16 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 5.5 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.A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.8 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.8.According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Tonopah (pop. 2,500, 54 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.Earthquake data: Date & time: Mar 1, 2026 09:16 pm (GMT -8) local time (2 Mar 2026 05:16 GMT)Magnitude: 3.8Depth: 8.90 kmEpicenter latitude / longitude: 38.52°N / 116.42°W (Nye County, Nevada, United States)Primary data source: USGS
