After a flurry of West coast earthquake activity yesterday going into this morning (May 22), now an extremely rare 5.4M earthquake has struck South Nevada.
Additionally, a new swarm of earthquakes is now developing at the South Nevada epicenter.
The location in Nevada appears to be an ancient dormant volcanic butte. The nearby dormant volcano is surely the culprit for this 5.4M earthquake today.
Search the coordinates, then look at the cliff sides to the East of the epicenter, you will see the old basalt flows, and the higher dome of the butte.
37.296°N 114.703°W
If you search the coordinates you will also come to find that there is an abandoned Copper mine (“Cherokee Copper mine”) located VERY close to the earthquake epicenter.
A west coast earthquake watch was issued yesterday. We have been watching the multiple dormant volcanoes show movement in the region, this 5.4 magnitude in Nevada.

Over the past week, the Markagunt volcanic plateau moved in South Utah, and now this dormant volcanic butte (unnamed) shows activity in South Nevada.

I first heard about this earthquake last night, May 22, from a friend who lives in Las Vegas. He's from Florida - this is a new experience for him!
Las Vegas freeway ramps reopen after 5.3-magnitude earthquake

Earthquake epicenter
All Las Vegas freeway ramps have reopened after a 5.3 magnitude earthquake hit about 125 miles north near Caliente, where the temblor rattled windows and dishes.
The quake, which struck at 11:47 a.m. today, was centered about 24 miles south-southwest of Caliente in Lincoln County but was felt across the Las Vegas Valley.
The freeway transition ramp from southbound U.S. 95 to southbound Interstate 15 near downtown Las Vegas was closed after the quake, as was the ramp from U.S. 95 southbound to I-15 northbound and the Martin Luther King on-ramp to southbound I-15, according to the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada. Officials announced at about 5 p.m. that all the ramps were open.
Rubber encasing the bridge seam on the U.S. 95 ramp to southbound I-15 had separated, according to the Department of Transportation.
Engineers inspected the seam and ramp before determining there was pre-existing joint damage.
“The tremblor simply dislodged the protective rubber encasing the bridge seam making it look much worse than it was in reality,” NDOT District I Engineer Mary Martini said in a statement. “However, we’re issuing an emergency contract to repair the seam. Meanwhile, the ramps remain structurally sound and safe for travel.”
There were no other immediate reports of serious damage or injury.
Victor Jones, who runs an auto repair shop in Caliente, said that when he felt the earthquake, he thought it was from a “sonic boom.”
“I looked at my front doors in my shop, and they were moving back and forth about six inches. All of my glass was just shaking,” he said.
