Surprise earthquake rattles rare destination

An earthquake rattled an uncommon destination in the Midwest early on Wednesday.

In the U.S., earthquakes are most commonly reported in areas like California and Alaska, with some quakes rattling places such as Texas as a result of fracking. Earthquakes with a magnitude of less than 7 don't typically cause extensive damage or fatalities, but smaller ones can still shock residents living in areas that don't usually experience the tremors.
