Grants, New Mexico is about 35 miles east of Jamestown. It sustained an earthquake last evening.
From KRQE:
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – An earthquake was reported in New Mexico around 7 p.m. It was recorded as a 3.8 magnitude.
According to the US Geological Survey, an earthquake took place near Mount Taylor. A map coordinator showed the location is just over 20 miles northeast of Grants.
I had just gotten home about 45 minutes earlier, but I felt no shaking.

The Grants area has a history of volcanic activity with lava fields to east and south of town (from what I could see from Interstate 40). I guess this means that the faults are still active.
