From the Associated Press via Lex18.com: "Second Earthquake in 10 Hours Hits Western Kentucky"--
The National Earthquake Center reports an earth tremor Monday morning measuring 3.9 on the Richter scale was centered at Clinton in Hickman County.
It was the second earthquake within ten hours to be centered in Hickman County, but both were of minor intensity. Sunday night's tremor occurred at 10 p.m. and was measured at 3.0. A 4.0 tremor was felt across northwest Tennessee and southeast Kentucky last Thursday, but caused little damage.
Geophysicist John Minch at the National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colorado says it is not certain Monday's quake was on the New Madrid fault, but seismologists in Memphis think it was.
