University of Nevada, Reno seismologists have reported 115 small earthquakes in the Spanish Springs area since Oct. 8. It's the largest reported batch of earthquakes in a related location near Reno since the 2008 earthquakes in Verdi and Mogul, which included a magnitude 5.0 quake, UNR seismologist Diane dePolo said.

Nevada has about 30 to 50 reported earthquakes each day, she said. The Spanish Springs earthquakes have not registered higher than a magnitude 1.0, but that doesn't mean a larger earthquake isn't possible, she said.

To push earthquake preparedness, each Nevada public school is expected to participate at 10:18 a.m. Thursday in the third annual Great Nevada Shakeout, district officials said.

Magnitude 4.5 earthquake shakes Montreal area, no damage reported

Serious damage highly unlikely, seismologist says.

A small earthquake was felt in and around the Montreal region early Wednesday morning.

Natural Resources Canada seismologist Allison Bent said it was a magnitude 4.5 quake and was centred southeast of Montreal.

"The epicentre is 21 kilometres west-northwest of Saint Hyacinthe and that's about 37 kilometres from Montreal," Bent said in an interview from Ottawa.

There were no reports of damage although the quake did create jitters that had some people scurrying briefly from their houses.

The temblor lasted just a few seconds, causing buildings to rumble.

Bent said any serious damage was highly unlikely.
