MINOR EARTHQUAKE RATTLES NORTHEAST OHIO

MADISON, Ohio —Police said they received a number of
calls when a small earthquake shook a part of northeast
Ohio over the weekend. The U.S. Geological Survey says Saturday night's quake off the Lake
Erie shore had a
magnitude of 2.7.

Lt. Tim Brown with the Madison Township police department in Lake
County says there were no
reports of damage or injuries. He says about 10 people called police to ask why the ground was
shaking or to report what they thought were suspicious noises after the
quake was felt around 10
p.m. The geological survey's Ohio coordinator, Mike Hansen, says the
region has seen quite a few
earthquakes in recent years. He says it's not clear what causes them.
