AUSTIN, Nev. (KOLO) -6:10 P.M. UPDATE: The magnitude of the earthquake has been revised to 4.1. Its depth is now 2.9 miles.

The location is now 19 miles closer to Austin, putting it about 10 miles east of Austin.

ORIGINAL STORY: A magnitude 4.3 earthquake struck central Nevada Saturday afternoon less than 2 miles north of U.S. 50 about halfway between Eureka and Austin.

The Nevada Seismological Laboratory said the quake happened about 4:35 p.m. north of Summit Mountain.

The depth was listed as a tenth of a mile.

A seismologist has reviewed the report.

Sarah Hruby, owner of Grandma’s pizzeria in Austin, said they did not feel it.

“Our building was built in the 1870s, and if it had been shaken it very hard, it would not have been good,” Hruby said.
