5/22/2015 — Extremely rare 5.4 magnitude earthquake strikes South Nevada by Michael Janitch After a flurry of West coast earthquake activity yesterday going into this morning (May 22), now an extremely rare 5.4M earthquake has struck South Nevada. The location in Nevada appears to be an ancient dormant volcanic butte. The nearby dormant volcano is surely the culprit for this 5.4M earthquake today. Search the coordinates, then look at the cliff sides to the East of the epicenter, you will see the old basalt flows, and the higher dome of the butte. 37.296°N 114.703°W _______ A west coast earthquake watch was issued yesterday.  We have been watching the multiple dormant volcanoes show movement in the region, this 5.4 magnitude in Nevada. The Markagunt volcanic plateau moved in South Utah, and now this dormant volcanic butte (unnamed) shows activity in South Nevada.
