Magnitude 3.1 Earthquake Just 70 Miles From North Escambia
May 16, 2008
The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude 3.1 earthquake was centered just 70 miles northeast of the North Escambia area Friday afternoon.
The earthquake occurred at 1:39 Friday afternoon near Thomasville, Alabama, in Clark County. That’s about 70 miles northeast of Davisville, FL.
The USGS says the earthquake occurred at a depth of about 3.1 miles below the surface. There were no immediate reports of damage. A 3.1 on the Richter scale is often strong enough to be felt by persons near the earthquake center, and rarely causes any damage.
