The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is reporting a magnitude 3.7 earthquake hit near Silver Springs. 

The Nevada Seismological Laboratory (NSL) says the temblor struck at 4:48 a.m. on Thursday - there's no immediate word on any injuries. 

Hundreds of earthquakes have shaken communities in northwestern Nevada since April 13, when a magnitude 5.68 quake struck the same fault line near Lahontan Reservoir. 

The best thing to do in the event of an earthquake is to get underneath a heavy table or desk. You want to protect yourself from possible falling objects. A doorway can work as well but be aware that shaking can cause the door to swing back and hit you.
