Preliminary data from the USGS reported that the earthquake had a depth of about 6.6 miles, and estimated intensity of the shaking was considered “light.”

An aftershock with a preliminary 2.3 magnitude struck just 20 minutes later in the same area. Additional aftershocks may be likely in the next several hours.

There are currently no reports of any damage or injuries, and there have yet to be any responses on the USGS “Felt Report.”
