Shaking reported in Denver after rare earthquake

DENVER – Shaking was reported in Denver, Colorado, following a magnitude 2.9 earthquake Friday morning. 

The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake happened north of Denver, about 3 miles southwest of Dacono, Colorado.

Light shaking was felt along Interstate 25 throughout Denver and surrounding towns. 

The quake was relatively shallow at 5.09 miles beneath the surface. 

According to the USGS, earthquakes in Denver are rare.

There hasn’t been a magnitude 3 or larger earthquake in the Denver metro area since 1981, when a magnitude 4.3 earthquake occurred in Northglenn, the USGS said. 

The USGS said Friday’s earthquake was most likely felt because it was shallow, in a well-populated area and happened around the time people were awake and getting ready for the day. 

No damage has been reported from the earthquake at this time.
