The U.S. Geological Survey reported a small earthquake early Sunday in western Kentucky. A preliminary magnitude 3.5 quake was recorded at 1:12 am about 9 miles north-northwest of La Center and about 39 miles west-northwest of Paducah. Geologists say earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3.0 are generally the smallest felt by humans and that damage is not likely from quakes of below magnitude 4.0. There were no reports of damage or injuries.
