A small earthquake was felt late Thursday night near Eton, Georgia in Murray County.

The M 2.6 earthquake happened at 11:47 PM on Thursday, very close to the Georgia – Tennessee state line between the communities of Cisco & Tennga, just east of Highway 411.

More than three dozen earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater have occurred in Georgia since 1974, according to the Survey. Yet, the state doesn’t have that many quakes compared to other areas. Georgia has a number of fault lines, where quakes are most known to occur.

The largest earthquake on record in the Georgia region was a magnitude 5.1 that occurred in 1916.

Around 400 people reported feeling the earthquake on Thursday night.
