North side of Tonopah. / Moderate shaking (MMI V) : I live on the north side of Tonopah in apartments. There were two quakes in one. The first got my attention and when the second one hit, I thought I would run outside. It was over before I could reach the door unlike the 6.5 2hich I couldn't get the door to open.

Tonopah (United States, 45 km E of epicenter) : I felt it inside my house. It rippled through the ground. It sounded like a truck was running over the house. (reported through EMSC)
