LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) — The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on Thursday withdrew an earlier earthquake warning near Dayton in the U.S. state of Nevada, saying the notice was sent in error.
The USGS previously said a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck Thursday at 16:06 GMT, 6 kilometers east of Dayton, adding that the epicenter was initially measured at 39.24 degrees north latitude and 119.52 degrees west longitude, with the hypocenter at a depth of 8 kilometers.
However, in a subsequent statement, the USGS said the warning was "incorrect."
"The ShakeAlert earthquake warning system issued an erroneous warning of a magnitude 5.9 earthquake in the Reno and Carson City area of Nevada," the service said on its website.
“The event did not occur and information about it has been removed from USGS websites and data feeds,” the service said.
The USGS added that it is working to determine the cause of the erroneous warning. –0–
