Dacono residents may have felt a 2.9 magnitude earthquake that was reported early Friday by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The earthquake, which reached a depth of about 5 miles, was recorded at 6:08 a.m. Friday, according to the USGS webpage.
The site did not state how long the earthquake lasted.
In the tectonic summary, scientists wrote that there are few earthquakes east of the Rockies and “most earthquakes in North America east of the Rockies occur as faulting within bedrock, usually miles deep.”

Updated 8:08 a.m. Friday, June 13, 2025: Because of a reporter’s error, the time of the earthquake initially was misreported. The earthquake was reported at 6:08 a.m.
