Multiple earthquakes rattled Wichita, Kan., on Dec. 19, with the largest measuring 3.7 on the Richter scale.
That makes the trembler the largest on record in the city in the last five years, although it’s still is considered relatively small. The threshold for damage usually starts at 4.0.
The Wichita Eagle reports that the earthquake was recorded at 12:47 p.m. with an epicenter near where around a dozen tremblers had been reported in the past month.
The Kansas Geological Survey reported at least two others happened on Dec. 19— one with a magnitude of 3.0 at 11:42 a.m. and another with a 2.9 magnitude at 12:40 p.m. A possible fourth quake also may have taken place around 12:52 p.m.
