Major US earthquake...

Some big news happened in the United States on Thursday.  A damaging 6.0 magnitude earthquake occurred in northeast Nevada.  This is unusual because having those big type of quakes is rare in that part of the state.  This is the strongest quake there since December of 1954.  It happened about 15 miles to the east-southeast of a little town called Wells.  Tremors were felt as far east as Salt Lake City which is almost 200 miles away.  There have been reports of damage to buildings and water pipes and even a gas leak at a truck stop.
