Shortly before one o’clock Sunday afternoon, the earth moved for folks in Blanchard. Geophysicist Paul Caruso with the US Geological Service confirms an earthquake took place in Caddo Parish, about 16 miles west-northwest of Shreveport.
“The magnitude was 3.0. At this point, we have about 16 reports of it being felt. The responses are mainly coming from Mooringsport and Shreveport,” said Caruso.
This is the second earthquake in the area in just over a year and a half. In 2021 a 3.0 magnitude earthquake was reported on April Fools. Caruso describes what residents experienced during Sunday’s quake.
“They felt a little shaking, maybe they saw their lamps swinging back and forth and felt a little vibration,” said Caruso.
