USGS officials noted on X that the shaker was likely an aftershock of a quake that occurred in the same general area as one that rattled the area on Sunday. That temblor was initially reported with a magnitude of 3.5, but it was later downgraded to a 3.4.
No injuries or damage were reported from that quake.
