An earthquake of magnitude 3.7 occurred early evening on Sunday, February 22nd, 2026, at 7:57 pm local time near Alamo, Lincoln County, Nevada, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 6 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.Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Alamo (pop. 1,100) located 20 miles from the epicenter.Earthquake data: Date & time: Feb 22, 2026 07:57 pm (GMT -8) local time (23 Feb 2026 03:57 GMT)Magnitude: 3.7Depth: 9.69 kmEpicenter latitude / longitude: 37.1°N / 115.32°W (Lincoln County, Nevada, United States)Primary data source: USGS
