A 2.8-magnitude earthquake was “lightly felt” in the Greater Sudbury space Sunday afternoon, Earthquakes Canada’s web site says.

The federal company logged over 70 group reviews of an earthquake within the space, starting from weak, mild and average depth.

The earthquake hit at roughly 2:17 p.m., about 22 kilometres northeast of the town. Earthquakes Canada says mining actions may very well be the trigger.

Earthquakes lower than 3.5 in magnitude are recorded on native seismographs however are typically not felt, in response to the federal company’s web site.
