A 5.5 magnitude earthquake shook Nevadans awake Friday morning. The agency also reported several smaller quakes, ranging in magnitude from 2.5 to 4.4, within 30 minutes of the initial impact. Five days ago, another 3.1 earthquake struck near Mina, according to NBC News. In May, Nevada felt its largest earthquake in 66 years, when a 6.5 magnitude tremor struck a remote area 225 miles from Las Vegas. Nevada is the third-most seismically active state in the nation, according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal, trailing only California and Alaska.
