38.159°N 117.875°W (between Tonopah and Hawthorne) not far from the recent Bodie quakes but several mountain ranges to the East in a named seismic zone
"This earthquake occurred within the Walker Lane, an active zone of seismicity roughly aligned with the California-Nevada border. Tectonically, the Walker Lane accommodates up to 25% of the North Americaacific Plate motion, with the remainder mostly accommodated on the San Andreas fault system."
I felt a combination of shaking and dipping/swaying that (in my foggy half dream state) seemed to go on for longer than any single quake I have felt in my lifetime. I did not feel any of the numerous aftershocks but I was already dealing with the motion sickness kind of continued sense of movement. I think I am more than 100 miles from the epicenter. That was one hell of a wake-up call.
