The Nevada Seismological Laboratory is staying busy by monitoring aftershocks that are happening near Yerington following Monday's earthquake.
Researchers from the lab say we are in the middle of an active earthquake sequence, so these smaller aftershocks are normal and could keep up for days or even weeks.
However, the odds of a bigger earthquake than the 5.7 magnitude earthquake we experienced are low.
"There's always a chance for a larger earthquake to occur, so this magnitude five could be the foreshock of a larger event - that happens relatively infrequently. I think the rule of thumb is about five percent of the time there is a bigger earthquake than the one that we felt," said William Savran, Network Manager for the Nevada Seismological Laboratory.
As of Tuesday, we have seen one aftershock over magnitude four, dozens over magnitude three, and over a hundred over magnitude two.
At the moment there are no early detection warning systems in Nevada, but you can always sign up for updates or alerts that will come in right after an earthquake has occurred.
