SHAWNEE TOWNSHIP – Dozens of Shawnee Township residents who reported feeling tremors shortly after midnight Friday were not imagining things.
The United States Geological Survey agency reported a 2.4 magnitude earthquake took place at approximately 12:22 a.m., with its epicenter somewhere near the intersection of state Route 117 and Seriff Road, northwest of Fort Shawnee.
“I live two blocks away from what they’re calling the epicenter, and it never even woke me up,” Shawnee Township Police Chief Mike Keith said Friday morning. “I didn’t know anything about it until I came into work today.”
