Small Earthquake Shakes Central Minnesota

UNDATED - Did you feel the earth move a bit this morning?  The National Earthquake Center says Central Minnesota experienced an earthquake this (Friday) morning. There are no reports of any injuries or damage.

The 2.5 magnitude quake happened at about 2:20 a.m.

It was felt in Alexandria. Sgt. Tom Egan of the Douglas County sheriff's office says staff at the county's 911 center felt it, and took 25 to 30 calls from the public, mostly from people who were curious about it. He says callers reported some noise and minor movement, including slight bouncing of ceiling tiles. But he says there are no reports of damage or anyone hurt.

The earthquake hit 39 miles southeast of Fergus Falls and 55 miles north-northwest of Willmar.

The Geological Survey says the largest earthquake recorded in Minnesota was a magnitude 4.6 quake in 1975 that caused minor damage to walls and foundations in Stevens County around Morris.
