    6.4 magnitude earthquake strikes Nevada, shaking felt hundreds of miles away

    An early Friday morning earthquake near Tonopah, Nevada, was strong enough to be felt over 300 miles away in areas such as Bakersfield, California. The 6.4 magnitude quake struck at 4:03 a.m., PDT, according to the U.S. Geological Survey and had a depth of 2.5 miles.
    There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries in the small town of Tonopah, located about three hours north of Las Vegas. Tonopah is home to the Tonopah Test Range, home of the U.S. Air Force's test site of experimental and classified aircraft and famous for its connection with Area 51 enthusiasts.


    n Esmeralda, Nevada, aftershocks in the same area were recorded within 15 minutes ranging from 3.8 to a strength of 4.9. This is the third 3.0 magnitude earthquake in the last 10 days for the region, according to the LA Times.
    According to contributed reports from the USGS, residents as far east as Salt Lake City, Utah, reported feeling the quake and as far southwest as San Diego, a 750-mile range of reported impacts.

    Yes felt it. I was awake, it was pretty strong, and it rumbled for a good amount of time.

    No doubt a decent size quake. If it rolled it was many together, but I think it was more the shake variety.

    Using the Nasher's map in the OP, I highlighted where we felt it in CA...

    He passed at 72 in 2018 at home in Pahrump Nev. from an accidental overdose it was said of his prescription medication and COPD. Best memories was listening to his show driving late night usually on a long road trip somewhere, fun to listen to over time.

    Ive lived in LA since September and have yet to experience a quake. I legit was expecting a quake straight out of a “the Rock” movie. Not even a tiny puss quake. My phobia is almost non existent now. I’m actually kind of excited to finally experience one

    Art Bell was an odd & strange man in his real life

    Maybe stranger than his radio persona

    The shadow people.

    I enjoyed Bell's show as well.
    George Noory who took over isn't that bad either.

    Art Bell was an Air Force veteran which may explain his obsession for UFO's
    He was also obcessed with Ham Radio.
    He was a radio expert.
    As a matter of fact he was one of only very few radio talk show hosts that never screened a call.

    Radio industry experts called his show "absolute entertainment"
    (some people called it "absolute bullshit"

    I liked all his shows.

    Art Bell died a couple of years ago. Hadn’t been on the air for awhile.

    His shows back when I was in college 20-25 years ago were the absolute best. It was hard to get to sleep when a good show would come on at midnight. I didn’t want to miss any of it.

    George Noory is the fukking worst. So boring. Half the time he doesn’t even listen to what his guests say. Just listen to some of the mundane things he says while doing his so-called interviews. Even when he has good guests he’ll interrupt them in the middle of a good take and say the most idiotic things to slow their roll.

    Half the time he’s peddling those stupid fukking vitamins he takes. Noory’s better than melatonin for falling asleep.

    I’d much rather listen to an Art Bell replay from 1995 than any Noory show today.

    I love the weekend shows with Ian Punnentt or George Knapp though. God I wish either one of them was the permanent host.

    I like Noory, but that's just me, but yeah Ian is great!

    Art’s wife died from an asthma attack on vacation. Six months later he had a 21-year old knocked up in the Philippines. Total G move.

    And the rumor was Art murdered his first wife.
    He was a strange man, I might believe that.

    Official story -- Art was video chatting with the young'un within 2 weeks after his wife passed

    Some say possibly before the wife's death
