Another weekend earthquake gave Kansans a shake on Sunday morning.

A 3.3-magnitude earthquake hit northeast of Anthony in south-central Kansas at 2:25 a.m. on Sunday, according to the United States Geological Survey.

If you felt the quake, you can report it to the USGS by clicking here. In most cases, a magnitude of 2.5 is needed for a local quake to be felt.

This earthquake struck just one day after three earthquakes hit Oklahoma and Kansas. At least one was felt by Wichitans.

Some of Oklahoma’s most powerful earthquakes in the past year also gave Kansans a shake, and a research geophysicist previously told The Eagle that it is safe to assume these quakes were due to wastewater injections in Kansas and Oklahoma.
