A magnitude 5.0 earthquake, strong enough to cause minor damage but apparently doing little harm, rattled southern Indiana and surrounding Eastern states, the National Earthquake Information Center said.
“There was a lot of shaking going on,” said Thomas Wrege, principal at the Trinity Lutheran Church School in Darmstadt, Ind., near where the quake was centered.
“At this point, there is no damage or accidents from the earthquake,” said Pamela Davis of the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s office.
The quake was centered 10 miles northwest of Evansville, Ind., and occurred at 12:37 p.m., the center reported. There were no immediate reports of damage.
