• W277524598 abstract "The 1910 Tonopah Junction and 1914 Reno earthquakes, occurring in the decade following the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, caused local nonstructural damage. These earthquakes are listed as magnitude 6 in most earthquake catalogs. This study compiled accounts of these earthquakes, developed a picture of the effects, and attempted to constrain their size and location. Little information was found for the 1910 Tonopah Junction earthquake, only an account from the Goldfield Daily Tribune. Until more detailed letters or diaries are found, perhaps at the central Nevada museum, the current Tonopah Junction location (where windows were broken at the telegraph office) and reported size (M6) remain the best information available. However, the lack of reporting of the earthquake in the Reno and several regional newspapers may indicate the magnitude has been overestimated. Over 106 accounts have been assembled and documented for the 1914 Reno earthquakes. Intensities were assigned to 26 locations for the February 18, 1914 earthquake and to 53 locations for the April 24, 1914 event. The February 18 earthquake was the first major event of an earthquake sequence that repeatedly shook the Reno region in the spring of 1914. The earthquake occurred on February 18 at 10:17 a.m., while people were at work and children were in school. Shaking in Reno, Sparks, and Virginia City was so strong that people rushed to the streets fearing buildings might collapse. In Reno, the earthquake broke windows, cracked walls, and sent parts of the fire wall and ornamentation of the Saturno building crashing to the street. The courthouse was shaken severely, cracking the plaster inside. At the University of Nevada, a few bricks were thrown from the chimney of the physics building, and the “students and professors vied with one another in an attempt to be the first outside” of the buildings. In Virginia City, several windows of the Second Ward School were broken, plaster was cracked in buildings, an old house on A Street fell down, and a few bricks fell to the street from the Post Office building. At Carson City, the shaking was not as strong as at Reno and no damage was reported. The earthquake was also felt at Verdi, and Clark in Nevada, and at Truckee, Loyalton, Portola, and Susanville in California. The earthquake was not noted at Gardnerville, Yerington, or Neuzel (south of Lovelock). The April 24 earthquake was the largest event in the 1914 Reno earthquake sequence, and it was the largest earthquake in the United States that year. The nighttime earthquake (12:34 a.m. PST) caused damage in Reno, and was felt as far north as Winnemucca, as far east as Elko, as far west as Berkeley, and as far south as Randsburg in California; it might have been felt even further out if it had occurred during the daytime. People were awakened from their sleep as far away as the Great Valley in California, and in Sacramento, people rushed to the streets from buildings in their nightclothes. At least five aftershocks were felt through the night following the mainshock; earthquakes were also reported on April 25 and 26, which were either aftershocks or possibly related to a second earthquake source area to the south, closer to Virginia City. In nearly every aspect, the April 24 earthquake had significantly higher intensities than the 2 February 18 quake, but the locations of the origins of the earthquakes were likely similar, indicating a larger magnitude for the April event. A major foreshock at 8:03 a.m. (PST) the day before was the third largest event of the sequence. In Reno, people scrambled to the streets from saloons, restaurants, and hotel lobbies. The earthquake was most severe at University Hill knocking down two chimneys at Manzanita Hall, leveling two chimneys at Lincoln Hall, and toppling the stack on the Hatch building. Glassware was broken and instruments were upset in the physical and chemical laboratories. At least one residence lost several square meters of plaster in a bedroom, had a chimney shaken to its foundations spilling bricks, and had a broken window. In Virginia City, people who were up dashed into the streets, pictures were jarred from the walls, dishes were thrown from shelves, and plaster was broken from ceilings of some residences. In Carson City people were awakened, and those that were up rushed to the streets; the shock was of several seconds duration. At Loyalton, California, bricks fell from chimneys and the brick walls of the Montague drug store were cracked. The shock was also severe and lasted for about 10 seconds at Alta, California. At Winnemucca, Nevada, the earthquake was felt throughout the town, awakened many people from their slumbers, overturned a clock on a shelf, and set a rocking chair to rocking. The shock was also quite severe at the communities of Gerlach, Lovelock, and Seven Troughs. An aspect that distinguishes the April 24 earthquake from the February 18 is the effect on the Great Valley of California. At Sacramento, many tall buildings rocked considerably and the guests of many uptown hotels were awakened and rushed to the streets in their nightclothes. At Marysville, people were aroused from their sleep by vibrations that lasted from 5 to nearly 15 seconds, and rushed into the streets. People were awakened in the Great Valley by a few to several seconds of shaking from Stockton in the south to Chico in the north. There likely were two sources of earthquakes were active during early 1914, when the felt patterns of some of the aftershocks are considered. In particular, a small series of earthquakes on the morning of April 25, 1914 (main event 9:18 a.m. PST) appears to have shaken Virginia City and Carson City more than Reno. In Virginia City people rushed out of their homes to the streets from tall buildings, several women fainted, a brick chimney was shaken over at the Cole building, and plaster fell in a number of residences. At Carson City, four earthquake shocks occurred in the morning and caused people of the city to roll around for a few seconds and many ran into the streets. The shaking was also very strong at Bowers Mansion in Washoe Valley. All of these locations are to the south of Reno, indicating the April 25 event was south of the preceding events. The damage patterns and sizes or the main 1914 earthquakes indicate an origin close to Reno. The intensity patterns and descriptions of effects are consistent with the two earthquakes having roughly the same epicenter; thus the distribution of relative effects was the same between events, but the effects of the April earthquake were more severe and far more widespread, consistent with its larger size. Both the February 18 and the April 24 earthquakes caused significant damage and panic in Reno. The estimated size of the February event (~M5.1) is an important 3 limiting factor for this common epicenter. Even though damage was very limited and nonstructural, this was a small earthquake and it must have occurred very close to Reno. As noted by Priestley (1981), the effects of the February 18 and April 24 quakes at do not appear to be as severe in Carson City as those at Reno, Sparks, and Virginia City, thus the epicenters seem more likely to be in the Reno part of the MMI VI area. In Table 5 several different magnitude estimates are presented for each of the earthquakes, but for both events the intensity MMI V isoseismal area is deemed the best for estimating the magnitude. The preferred magnitude estimates generated by this study are 5.1 ± 0.3 for the February 18, 1914 earthquake and 6.1 ± 0.3 for the April 24, 1914 earthquake." @default.
