Nevada gets its fair share of earthquakes. The past 150-plus years have been seismically active. Although Southern Nevada hasn't experienced any major modern-day temblors, Northern Nevada has had some large quakes. Recent activity for the state includes a 6.3 magnitude event Thursday, February 21, 2008, in Elko County.
