HENDERSON, Ky. - Some Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky residents felt a jolt from a small earthquake Friday morning.
A very mild earth tremor was recorded in southwestern Illinois at 11:17 a.m. EST, according to Ray Bowman of the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management.
Mr. Bowman said there were no reports of damage or injuries.
The quake, centered about 30 miles west of Henderson, Kentucky, registered 2.9, according to a U.S. Geological Survey spokeswoman.
The same area had a more noticeable tremor on June 18 with a 5.0 magnitude earthquake that was centered about 10 miles north of Evansville, Ind.
That quake caused no major damage or injuries but was felt at least 250 miles away - as far north as South Bend, Ind., and as far south as Memphis, Tenn.
