RENO, Nev. (AP) - Scientists urged residents of northern Nevada's largest city to prepare for a bigger event as the area continued rumbling Saturday after the largest earthquake in a two-month-long series of temblors.

More than 100 aftershocks were recorded on the western edge of the city after a magnitude 4.7 quake hit Friday night, the strongest quake around Reno since one measuring 5.1 in 1953, said researchers at the seismological laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno.
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.

WiseOne's Comments, what the hell is this earth trying to tell us? I felt an earthquake in TN the other day! This is NOT normal as this is happening all over the world at ONCE. Something is going on here and no doubt in my mind now...

It's part of a 200 year cycle. Each of these faultlines has to settle together CORRECTLY before it goes back to normal. One of the faultlines shifted... so the others are trying to correct themselves. And they will be felt EVERYWHERE simply because of the domino effect. If we move this piece here, then it changes the tensions on that one, so it shifts some to compensate.. then this one has to give a little, and so on and so forth..

I know, not a very scientific explaination, but the best I can do with what I understand. But this seems to occur every 200-250 years.
