A minor earthquake was recorded near Coushatta around 10am Thursday, according to preliminary data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The 2.7-magnitude tremor, which occurred at a depth of just over three miles, is considered small, but quakes at that depth can occasionally be felt depending on location and soil conditions.

This marks the second earthquake in a week for the Red River Parish area, raising curiosity among residents who have noticed an unusual cluster of seismic activity.

At this time, no injuries or damage have been reported. Still, the earthquake has drawn attention across the community, as north Louisiana is not typically known for frequent seismic events.

USGS continues to monitor movement in the region, and additional information may be released if more activity occurs. Residents who may have felt the shaking are encouraged to submit a report through the USGS “Did You Feel It?” system, which helps scientists collect local impact data.
