A minor earthquake near the Chase-Marion county line was felt by residents in Chase County — and further to the southwest in Sedgwick County on Saturday.
The US Geological Survey says the magnitude 2.5 quake developed shortly after 7 pm almost 10 miles southeast of Lincolnville and nearly 35 miles due west of Emporia. It caused weak shaking in Elmdale, less than 10 miles away — but it also caused weak shaking in Wichita, or over 50 miles from the epicenter.
No injuries or damage have been reported.
The Kansas Geological Survey says this is now the 17th minor earthquake in a 10-square-mile area straddling the Chase-Marion county line so far this year. All have been magnitude 3 or below. No injuries or damage have been reported with any of the earthquakes in that area.
