A small earthquake was recorded in Decatur, Tennessee, in Meigs County late Wednesday night.
The earthquake registered a 1.7 magnitude and had a depth of 4.7 kilometers, the United States Geological Survey confirms.
There were not many reports registered with the USGS of local residents feeling the quake, its website said.
It was the latest in a series of smaller earthquakes that have hit the area in the past month, including one of the strongest in decades-- although it was still relatively small, with minimal damage.
