A minor earthquake shook parts of east-central Nevada about 75 miles west of the Utah line, but there were no immediate reports of any damages or injuries.
The magnitude 3.1 temblor hit about 9 miles west of Ely and about 18 miles southwest of McGill at about 10:50 a.m. Wednesday.
The U.S. Geological Survey originally estimated the quake to be a magnitude 3.6 but scaled that estimate back about 10 minutes later.
