Small earthquake beneath Lake Erie recorded on February 10, 2003
Origin Time: February 10, 2003, 05:34:43.07 UTC
Location: 41.95º N -80.72º W
Magnitude: 2.4 mbLg
Depth: 5.0 km
A small, 2.4 magnitude earthquake was detected beneath Lake Erie about 2 miles offshore from Kingsville-on-the-Lake, Ashtabula County by the Geological Survey of Canada and the Ohio Seismic Network. Although an earthquake of this magnitude can be felt by individuals in favorable locations, only one felt report was received. This is not surprising, however, considering the event occurred at 12:24 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. An earthquake, also 2.4 magnitude, was recorded by the Geological Survey of Canada at this approximate location in 1995.
