As rare as they are in Michigan, the greater Kalamazoo area experienced an earthquake shortly after noon Saturday.

At 12:23 p.m. Saturday, an earthquake, which originated 8 kilometers south of Galesburg, measured a 4.2 on the Richter scale, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

As of early Saturday afternoon, there were no reports of any injuries, or major damages, sustained during the quake, according to MLive.

WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE?
According to the USGS, experiencing the intensity of the 4.2 quake would likely be similar to the following description: "Felt indoors by many, outdoors by few during the day. At night, some awakened. Dishes, windows, doors disturbed; walls make cracking sound. Sensation like heavy truck striking building. Standing motor cars rocked noticeably."
