The Las Vegas Earthquake was an event that occurred during the 2012 Apocalypse.

History[]

In the early to late afternoon hours, a massive earthquake of a unknown magnitude struck the famous city of Las Vegas, and the rest of Nevada. Numerous people were killed in this catastrophe, while some managed to survive but were injured. The earthquake created a large canyon that split the city up into pieces.

When the earthquake subsided, the remains of Las Vegas were engulfed by the Yellowstone Ash Cloud when it began to engulf and spread around the United States and Canada.

Trivia[]

  • This event is one of the few disasters that occurred off-screen during the 2012 Apocalypse. It was not mentioned, but presumed and happened off-screen.
  • It's reasonable to assume this earthquake was directly caused by dynamic stress transfers from the Los Angeles Earthquake.
