Small earthquake hits central Va.

WASHINGTON – A small earthquake rattled part of central Virginia on Wednesday night.

The U.S. Geological Survey says that a 2.0 magnitude quake hit shortly after 10 p.m. about 9 miles east-southeast of Louisa, in Louisa County.

No injuries have been reported.

A 2.3 magnitude earthquake was reported last month, on Easter Sunday, about eight miles south of Louisa.

In August 2011, a 5.8 magnitude quake in Louisa County was felt from Georgia to Canada.
