The earthquake that hit Ohio did not turn out for worst, as the 3.5 magnitude did not cause any damage or injury. However, it certainly shook parts of Ohio which threatened residents in Nelsonville and in other towns of Athens and Columbus.

According to Web Pro News, the epicenter of the quake was measured 4.9 miles deep and located 2.5 miles off the southeastern part of Nelsonville. Luckily, there were zero reports of any injuries or damage. The report noted that earthquakes measuring a 3.5 magnitude level on the Richter scale is way too small but can be felt indoors.

Dispatch.com reported that it may have just been a good shaking for the region since Ohio does not usually experience earthquakes and if it does, it is still considered within the safe zone. The website interviewed 71-year-old Carl Corvin who said he was at home when the shakes started. He said that it was like a car hit his house as it felt like "one big jolt."

Several Ohio natives also tooko to Twitter to talk about the earthquake. Dan Hildebrand told Dispatch.com that it shook his apartment for just a couple of seconds.

The US Geological Survey added that the earthquake happened along a fault line called Starr. It runs from the western to the eastern part of Hocking County, which is a neighbor of the state, and straight to the county of the Northern Ashland County which is also near Nelsonville, NewsNet5 stated.

The earthquake yesterday was the strongest in the state since December 30, 2011, when a 4.0 magnitude shook Ohio.

For the county of Athens, their most powerful earthquake recorded was just of 3.8 magnitude level which dated way back in 1886. On the other hand, Columbus felt their last earthquake in August 23, 2011 with a 5.8 magnitude.
