For the first time in Nevada’s recorded history, it appears a person might have been killed by an earthquake in the Silver State — though the quake responsible was actually in California.
Authorities in Nye County on Tuesday announced that they believe a Pahrump man was killed on July 4 when a 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck near Ridgecrest, California some 100 miles away.
That quake, which turned out to be a foreshock for a 7.1-magnitude temblor the next day, was felt from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.
The shaking that reached Pahrump — about 100 miles from Ridgecrest — was apparently strong enough to shake a Jeep off the jacks holding it up and onto 55-year-old Troy Ray, who was working underneath the vehicle, pinning and killing him.
