The agency says the 3.5-magnitude quake occurred close to 1 p.m. Wednesday. The epicenter was about 2 miles southeast of the town of Nelsonville in Athens County.
Geophysicist John Bellini described the quake as"light." He says people in the area might have felt a quick jolt, while some unstable items could have fallen from desks or shelves.
He says earthquakes must register at a 4.5 magnitude to cause any significant damage.
Ohio University, in nearby Athens, says its campus felt the earthquake but there was no damage to facilities reported.
