There was a small earthquake in Wyoming County on Tuesday morning.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake was a magnitude 2.6, which is usually not enough to cause any damage and often is not felt by a number of people.

The earthquake was centered just over three miles south of the Village of Warsaw, and it also was about three miles below the surface, which is considered a relatively shallow earthquake.
