Cleanup Begins After 6.0-Magnitude Earthquake Jolts Nevada

February 24, 2008

A powerful earthquake damaged hundreds of homes, toppled chimneys and reduced part of a historic district to rubble, but residents of this rural northeastern Nevada town are grateful it wasn’t worse.

No one was killed and no serious injuries were reported after the magnitude-6.0 quake jolted the high desert town at 6:16 a.m. Thursday and rumbled across much of the West.

About 20 to 25 buildings suffered heavy damage in the largely vacant historic district of Wells, where brick facades tumbled off several buildings, signs fell and windows broke. A support beam crushed one unoccupied car.
