While no damage has been reported, several people in the area reported hearing and feeling the minor quake since it was so close to a populated area.

Friday’s earthquake falls on the lower end of the Richter Scale, where quakes are normally not felt but are recorded on a seismograph.

Ohio Department of Transportation cameras along I-75 captured some of the ground shaking and released footage on social media platforms.
