Earthquake Hits Georgia, Strongest in Years
Georgia Earthquake
Magnitude 3.9 Earthquake Hits Georgia
A 3.9-magnitude earthquake hit Georgia early Saturday morning, the state's strongest in years. The earthquake was centered near the town of Decatur, about 10 miles northeast of Atlanta. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The earthquake was felt across a broad region, including Atlanta, Athens, and Macon. Some residents reported feeling the shaking for several seconds.
The earthquake was the strongest to hit Georgia since a 4.2-magnitude earthquake in 2011. That earthquake caused minor damage to buildings in the Atlanta area.
Geologists are still investigating the cause of the earthquake. They say it is too early to say whether it is related to any other seismic activity in the region.
