According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a 3.6 magnitude earthquake rattled Nuckolls County on Tuesday morning.
This was the second earthquake that took place this month.
Paul Earle, a seismologist at USGS, said Tuesday's earthquake was relatively small on the earthquake scale. He also said it’s normal to have repeated earthquakes.
“Earthquakes do cluster. The most likely scenario for that sequence is that you won’t have any more felt earthquakes but it is possible that you will have more felt earthquakes at the same and it’s also a small possibility of larger earthquakes coming into this area," said Earle.
The Nuckolls County Emergency Manager Nick Elledge said earthquakes aren’t common in the state, but encourages families to be prepared.
“You know with any hazard, as an emergency manager I feel that every home should have a safety plan and create a plan as a group," said Elledge.
Elledge said a safety plan can be used for any type of emergency whether it be a tornado or an earthquake.
