WILLOWICK, Ohio — A 2.0 magnitude earthquake was reported Saturday morning in Lake Erie a little more than half a mile west-northwest of Willowick in Lake Erie, according to the United States Geological Survey.
It happened around 1:23 a.m. at a depth of 4.7 miles.
This is the third earthquake in the area this week. On Thursday, the USGS reported a 2.5 and a 2.1 magnitude earthquake north-northwest of Lakeline.
Saturday's quake marks the 5th one in Lake County to hit this month.
On Jan. 4, a 2.8 magnitude quake hit about 1.25 miles northwest of Timberlake. The day after, another earthquake measured at 1.9 magnitude was recorded about 3 miles north of Timberlake, the USGS confirmed.
Lake County is no stranger to the occasional earthquake. In December 2019, News 5 reported two earthquakes that happened in a matter of a week offshore in Lake Erie.
