LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A 2.8 magnitude earthquake was recorded in central Kentucky early Sunday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The earthquake was recorded near High Bridge in Jessamine County at 3:41 a.m.
No damage has been reported, according to WKYT.Â
On Saturday, a 4.1-magnitude earthquake in Tennessee woke up families and rattled homes as far away as Atlanta as it spread tremors across portions of the southern U.S. on Saturday morning. No injuries or major damage were immediately reported.
The southeastern U.S. carries a significant earthquake risk, particularly around the New Madrid Seismic Zone to the west and in the East Tennessee Seismic Zone.
Since 1950, 15 other earthquakes of magnitude 4 or larger have occurred within 155 miles (250 kilometers) of Saturday's earthquake.
Seismic waves from earthquakes spread more efficiently in the Eastern U.S. compared to the West because of the region's geology.
