A 3.8 magnitude earthquake shook Summerlin South, Nevada, Thursday afternoon, sending tremors across the Las Vegas Valley.

The quake struck at 1:47 p.m., with the epicenter about seven miles northwest of Summerlin South at a depth of four miles.

Initially measured at 4.1, the number was adjusted to 3.8 by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Shaking was felt in Summerlin, Henderson, and throughout the wider Las Vegas metropolitan area.

More than 2,500 residents reported weak to light shaking to the USGS, though no damage or injuries were reported.

Seismologists explain that quakes of this strength are often felt but rarely cause major harm.

While such events aren’t rare in Las Vegas, larger earthquakes remain infrequent.

Locals are reminded to stay prepared and informed about earthquake safety protocols.

This new takeout spot will serve up authentic cheesesteaks and classic East Coast favorites from its base inside the Summerlin South Takeout ghost kitchen on Rainbow Blvd.
