A rare 3.7 magnitude earthquake was reported off Florida's Atlantic coast on Saturday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The epicenter of the earthquake was located just over 100 miles east of Palm Coast and occurred just after 4 p.m.

Residents of the Sunshine State didn't report feeling the minor earthquake. Feeling the effects of an earthquake is a rarity in Florida. Scientists say Florida has felt the effects of only around two dozen seismic events.

According to the USGS, one of the last earthquakes to cause damage happened back in 1879. Records state settlers in St. Augustine reported heavy shaking that knocked plaster from walls and articles from shelves.
