Yesterday. I felt it. Didn't know what it was, but the house rumbled for about half a second. Here's the news...
FAIRPORT HARBOR, Ohio (AP) -- A mild earthquake offshore in Lake Erie shook Cleveland's northeast suburbs Wednesday afternoon but no immediate damage or injuries were reported.
The quake had a magnitude of 2.9, strong enough to feel like the rumble of a passing truck, according to the Lake County Emergency Management Agency.
The quake occurred about 4:04 p.m. and was centered in Lake Erie about 15 miles northwest of Fairport Harbor, the agency said.
The area between Cleveland and Erie, Pa., is an epicenter for earthquakes. Ohio has had seven quakes this year with a magnitude of 2.0 or greater, most of them in the region northeast of Cleveland.
I never new... First one I've experienced. Wierd!
