The Midwest wasn't the only area to have earthquakes in April, Reno, Nevada has as well. More than 100 aftershocks were recorded on the western edge of the city after a magnitude 4.7 earthquake hit Friday, April 25th. This was the strongest quake around Reno since one measuring 5.1 in 1953. The latest quake swept store shelves clean, cracked walls in homes and dislodged rocks on hillsides, but there were no reports of injuries or widespread major damage. ![]() So, how should you prepare for an earthquake?
