From Fox Weather:
Residents across parts of Louisiana were rattled by a 4.9 earthquake on March 5, marking it the strongest earthquake ever in the state’s history.
The U.S. Geological Survey said that the earthquake struck at 5:30 a.m. CT about 36 miles southeast of Shreveport, Louisiana at a depth of 3.1 miles. With more than 1,100 reports of shaking so far, the USGS says residents as far north as Shreveport, along with some in southern Arkansas and western Texas, have felt the tremors. The Red River Parish Sheriff’s Office highlighted the strength in a Facebook video reiterating the record as the “largest recorded earthquake on Louisiana soil.”
