A small earthquake has been recorded 68 miles northeast of Youngstown. The Lamont Doherty Cooperative Seismographic Network reported a 2.2 magnitude tremor at around 6:30 a.m. between Titusville, Pennsylvania and Allegheny National Forest in Venango County. Greg Knupp is a firefighter in the town of Pleasantville, Pa, which is less than three miles from the center of the quake which is in a rural, farmland area.

He tells 21 news that he did not feel any shaking, and hasn’t heard reports from anyone else who felt the tremor. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, which keeps tracks of earthquakes worldwide, most humans do not feel seismic activity between the magnitudes of 1.0 and 3.0, except under special circumstances.
