UPDATE, May 21: The U.S. Geological Survey reports yet another 5.2 magnitude earthquake near Tonopah on Thursday afternoon.

Officials say it happened nearly 33 miles west of Tonopah.

Governor Sisolak declared a State of Emergency on Thursday to access funding to repair damages to roadways in the area, caused by last week's 6.5 quake.

Original Story: The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude 5.0 earthquake struck near Tonopah early Wednesday morning. 

No immediate damage was reported after the 5:36 a.m. temblor. 

Last Friday, a magnitude 6.5 quake shook the same area, about 36 miles west of Tonopah. Numerous aftershocks have been reported since then.  

UNR says Friday's 4:03 a.m. temblor occurred about three miles below the surface in a remote area. Within the first hour following the earthquake, more than 8,000 people reported feeling it.

Nye County reported some minor damage, including storefront broken glass and buckled sidewalks. Nye County also said that Gabbs, 75 miles north of Tonopah, reported no significant structure damage.

A portion of U.S. 95 was temporarily closed after a major crack split open a portion of the roadway. NDOT crews spent much of the day repairing the damage and then reopened it around 2 p.m. 

The earthquake was felt throughout Nevada, central California and southern Utah. UNR says the quake was felt with light to moderate shaking as far away as Reno and Las Vegas; as well as Fresno and Sacramento in California; and with very weak shaking in the Bay Area.

Last July, a 56-year-old backyard mechanic was found dead in Pahrump four days after strong quakes struck near Ridgecrest, California, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) away. Investigators said it appeared a Jeep he was repairing wobbled off its support jacks.

State seismic network manager Ken Smith noted that Friday’s earthquake happened a few miles east of the site of a magnitude 6.2 temblor in July 1986 in California’s Chalfant Valley.

Larger earthquakes in the region in the last century included a 6.5-magnitude temblor in 1934 and a magnitude 6.8 quake in 1932, the state seismology lab said.

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake in February 2008 damaged hundreds of structures in the northeast Nevada town of Wells, including its historic El Rancho Hotel and Casino. Officials recently announced plans to restore the hotel.
