The Nevada Seismological Laboratory at the University of Nevada Reno is reporting that a 3.2 magnitude earthquake occurred near Spanish Springs Sunday evening.
The earthquake was reported at around 6:50 p.m.
We’ve had some calls into our newsroom who tell us they felt the earthquake in downtown Reno and Sparks.
A 2.03 magnitude aftershock earthquake was reported a few minutes later.
There have been no reports of damage or injuries as a result of the earthquake.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Nevada’s Hispanic trucking community is warning of a potential $500 delivery surcharge starting July 1.
Drivers are calling it a “growing parking crisis” if Clark County does not address it.
Several truck yards across the Las Vegas Valley, including one located on Las Vegas Blvd and Nellis Blvd., are being forced to close due to zoning violations.
For Nevada truckers, the truck yard is a safe space where they can leave their trucks and head home for the night after their shift is over. But the Nevada Hispanic Truckers’ Association said recent closures and aggressive enforcement of lots are making it nearly impossible to operate in Clark County.
While the crackdown affects all drivers, the group says Hispanic drivers are hit hardest because they make up the majority of independent owner-operators in the region.
“The problem is that there’s not enough parking for the,” said a spokesperson for the Nevada Hispanic Truckers’ Association, Dunia Antunez. “So, they’re being given tickets $500 to $800 tickets for parking in residential areas or streets.”
Starting July 1, the group says it will begin charging a $500 delivery surcharge to companies receiving goods in Clark County, unless action is taken.
“The county commissioners must stop closing down this long-term parking and they need to build more actually, because we have too many truckers, we don’t enough parking,” Antunez said.
But Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom, whose district includes the yard in question, said this property was never legally approved for this use.
“They have lots of violations, code violations, cause it was not zoned for business, no business license for that that be of use in that neighborhood,” Segerblom explained.
Segerblom said the neighborhood around the yard is changing and industrial zones are now giving way to homes.
“It’s really because of the diesel fumes, big trucks going down neighborhood streets is not healthy in my opinion,” Segerblom said. “You wouldn’t want to have a truck yard in a in a residential neighborhood.”
He explained he’s sympathetic to the truckers and promised new policies are in the works to create legal, regulated yards in the right locations.
“We want to make sure that the lot is paved, that is appropriate area, that that requires a special use permit,” Segerblom said.
Segreblom added that these new rules could still take months and said if someone brings forward a properly zoned location in his district, it could be approved sooner but for now it’s a case-by-case basis.

Couple ecstatic as Kelly Clarkson helps them tie the knot
Kelly Clarkson gave one couple their dream wedding gift when she agreed to be a legal witness to their union during her show in Las Vegas.
From the nearly 26-year-old “Friends” episode, “The One in Vegas,” to the 2025 Oscar-nominated film “Anora,” Nevada has been famous for its wedding culture for decades.
But Nevada isn’t only known for its Vegas quickie weddings. Lake Tahoe also makes Northern Nevada a world-renowned wedding destination.
The Silver State attracts couples from all walks of life looking to get hitched, including stars. Here’s a look at the celebrity couples who said “I do” in the Silver State.
The list of celebrities who tied the knot in Vegas exceeds 200 people. The Office of the Clark County Clerk’s Celebrity Timeline lists the famous people who married there — some of whom are still together.
Here’s a list of the most recognizable names. If a celebrity or their spouse is recognized by multiple professions, for example singer Frank Sinatra and actress Mia Farrow, the couple will appear in both categories.
The “Clueless” actress Alicia Silverstone married long-time boyfriend Christopher Jarecki on the shores of Lake Tahoe in 2005.
Actor Elliott Gould (“M*A*S*H,” “Friends,” “Ocean’s 11”) and singer Barbara Streisand got married by a Carson City justice of the peace in a secret ceremony in 1963.
Part of it is the ease with which someone can get married in Las Vegas. You can get a marriage license in Sin City in less than an hour, according to the Clark County website. Not only that but there are several chapels that make the experience more exciting than a courthouse wedding.
A Las Vegas wedding has a cultural meaning all its own. Where else in the world can you get hitched in under an hour, by Elvis and surrounded by the glitz of Nevada neon?
As mentioned above, the list of celebrities that have been married in Las Vegas is substantial. So why do so many celebrities get hitched there?
Aside from the reasons listed above, Las Vegas is also a hub for entertainment so many celebrities go to Southern Nevada for work. It is also only a four hour drive from star-studded Los Angeles which makes Las Vegas a convenient spot to get married away from the attentions stars may get if they marry in Hollywood.

The strong winds Northern Nevadans experienced on Sunday, May 11, will continue through today in Reno and Lake Tahoe. The high wind advisory from the National Weather Service is set to end at 5 p.m., but calm, summery weather won’t return just yet.
In addition to the wind, both Reno and Lake Tahoe have a chance of precipitation through midweek, NWS Reno said.
Warm temperatures and sunny skies are expected to return after this wintry spell, though showers could make a comeback over the weekend.
Here’s a closer look at the forecast for Reno and Lake Tahoe this week:
While little to no snow accumulation is expected in the mountains above Reno, travel impacts on I-80 are unlikely. However, high winds could pose issues over Donner Pass.
Here’s the Tahoe road conditions and storm watch resources to keep up to date on the roads before you leave on your trip.
