"Some people felt the rumbling," said Lt. Paul Skaggs. "A lot of people must not have, because we only got a few calls on it."
The epicenter of the earthquake -- which was reported just before 6 p.m. -- was about three miles south of Center Point, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
There have been other earthquakes in Alabama this year: a 2.1 magnitude was reported in August in Fayette; two earthquakes -- one a 2.2, the other a 2.5 -- were detected in one week in March in Limestone County; and in February a magnitude 3.5 earthquake struck just south of Fort Morgan in south Alabama.
