Small Earthquake Recorded in Kentucky
LA CENTER, Ky. (AP) -- The U.S. Geological Survey reports a small earthquake in western Kentucky.
The USGS says a preliminary magnitude 3.5 quake was recorded at 2:12 a.m. Sunday about 9 miles north-northwest of La Center — and about 39 miles west-northwest of Paducah.
No reports of injuries or damage were immediately available.
Geologists say earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3.0 are generally the smallest felt by humans and that damage is not likely from quakes of below magnitude 4.0.
