3.0 Earthquake Hits Western Alabama

No injuries are being reported following a small earthquake in Alabama’s Tuscaloosa County.

The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude 3.0 earthquake occurred around 4 a.m. Friday about halfway between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham.

The epicenter appears to have been between the Kellerman and the North Johns communities.

The quake occurred east of another area where a cluster of earthquakes has occurred since late 2014 in Greene County.
