I have 190 earthquake emails from the Nevada Seismology Lab detailing aftershocks from through the night. When I did the U.S. Geological Survey’s Did You Feel It survey before running down to Walker, it said Gardnerville was in the range of 4.7.
The aftershocks are clustered in Mill Canyon just west of Walker, where just two hours after the earthquake, they were serving customers in the restaurants and stores. Resilience thy name is Walker.
