On Saturday, shortly after 12:00 p.m., people from across Michigan reported having felt a small earthquake tremor.

The Earthquake Hazards program at earthquake.usgs.gov has since confirmed that at 12:23 p.m., a magnitude 4.0 earthquake shook 8 kilometers south of Galesburg, Michigan, near Kalamazoo.

Joseph Clark, a National Weather Service meteorologist, said of the earthquake, “Near the epicenter, it would be possible for a few things to fall off shelves.”

“It’s pretty good by Michigan standards,” Clark said.

No major injuries have yet been reported.
