Did You Feel Monday Morning Earthquake?
An earthquake was reported northwest of Fairport Harbor Monday morning. Did you feel it at your Mentor residence?
If you felt your home shake Monday morning, it wasn't part of your imagination.
Our partners at Newsnet5.com reported a 3.2 magnitude earthquake at 3:48 a.m., northwest of Fairport Harbor in Lake County. No damage has been reported, but a couple of our Facebook fans said they felt the quake's effects.
"Yes! it woke us up, felt like something hit the house!" Elizabeth Budnik wrote on the Mentor Patch Facebook page.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the largest earthquake, magnitude 4.8, caused damage in 1986 in northeastern Ohio, and the most recent damaging shock — magnitude 4.5 — occurred in 1998 at the seismic zone's eastern edge in northwestern Pennsylvania.
