SHREVEPORT — A 3.0 earthquake struck the Shreveport-Bossier area early Thursday (April 1) morning, rattling the ground but not causing any damage, WWL-TV reports. 

Labeled as a minor quake, the incident was felt by residents just north of Blanchard and east of the Texas border. Experts agree that a 3.0 earthquake is on the low range of earthquakes that can be felt.

According to WWL-TV, the quake originated about 5 kilometers below the ground, around 2:26 a.m. on April 1.

Anyone who happened to be awake in Shreveport or Bossier City may have felt minor swaying around that time.
