A shallow magnitude 3.7 earthquake was reported Sunday morning about 5 miles from the city of Superior in south-central Nebraska.
The US Geological Survey, reported that the quake hit at 7:51 am at a very shallow depth of 3.1 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface.
About 75 people had reported the feeling of the shock of the quake by mid-morning, according to the US Geological Survey website.
Shannon McCord, manager of the Ideal Market in Superior, said he noticed some small items that had been knocked off the grocery store’s shelves when he came to work. Residents were talking about the quake, he said.
“One woman told me that her whole house shook,” McCord said. “I didn’t feel it because I live a little north of town.”
