Any damage to the road to Montgomery Pass?
Nope. In fact rt 360 was the detour. 95 closed for about 10 hours and was repaired and reopened. |

Some trivia; that picture is looking West and the snow covered peak on the right is Boundary Peak. The California/Nevada state line passes between the two summits and descends to the left on the near side of the range so most of the snow covered range in the rear left is in California.
Edit, wrong quote. |

I was in the Reese River Valley maybe 80 miles from the epicenter. Shook the shit out of our tent trailer!

What’s interesting is the way the cracks spiderweb around the area. I assumed there would be a rift across the highway continuing east and west. Instead, the area shows cracks but the big shift pictured is 1-200 yards N/E and roughly parallel to the highway.
Some pictures from yesterday morning, hope this works.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I went into the Monti Cristo's today. Esmeralda County was blading the road. I rode in 6 or 8 miles and didn't notice any rock falls or evidence of any kind of the quake. I met a guy that was camped at the mouth of the canyon, he said the 5.0 yesterday shook his pickup. He said the epicenter was a few hundred yards from his camp site. When I came out of the canyon he said he had felt another 3.5. Then I drove out and looked at the site of the damage to the highway. It is surprising how little disturbance there was to the ground from such a large shaker. Lucky it wasn't any closer to Tonopah.

Felt another, my internet connection was down for a bit, I just checked a 5.3 at 17:22. Lots more micro quakes since.

My pleasure. I don’t have a link yet but a friend told me about a geologist that put up a drone and took some very interesting pictures over the dry lake bed. I also stopped in Coaldale yesterday and saw surface cracking there 5 miles away. There is another small highway repair done in the area now. I think there have been two subsequent quakes over magnitude 5 since the big one and with the dozens of aftershocks this may not be over. I also understand that there are three volcanic calderas in the region and those raise the stakes. 2020 could be interesting

Interesting day. In coaldale area, apparently hundreds of quakes, dozens of which were magnitude 2.5 or higher and the only one I felt was the 4.0. The bumps on the highway felt worse on the way back than the way out though so that’s something.

I got an alert for a 4.0 and a 4.2 near Mina earlier today. Didn't see the others though since they were below the threshold to trigger my warnings.
