The impact from the tremor, considered minor, was felt as far as Shreveport.
It was the latest in a series of earthquakes in the northwestern corner of the state. A 2.5 magnitude earthquake was registered across the border in Uncertain, Texas, early Thursday, about six miles southwest of Mooringsport, Louisiana.
