No damage has been reported locally. More than 100 aftershocks were recorded on the western edge of Reno after the earthquake hit Friday night, the most powerful in a two-month-long series of quakes and the strongest around the city since one in 1953 that measured 5.2, said scientists at the University of Reno. The United States Geological Survey said the earthquake’s epicenter was near Mogul, west of Reno. The upscale area, along the eastern Sierra Nevada, had been rattled by more than 100 quakes on Thursday. The strongest, with a magnitude of 4.2, caused high-rise casinos to sway in downtown Reno. Nevada is the third most seismically active state behind California and Alaska. A magnitude 6 quake on Feb. 21 near the Utah border was the 15th of at least that magnitude in the state’s 143-year history. Skip to next paragraph
