If you thought you felt the ground move under your feet in the last 24 hours, you may have felt one of three small earthquakes.

The U.S. Geological Survey recorded three small quakes across parts of the Natural State.

On Friday around 7:15 p.m., the ground rattled just outside Quitman.  The earthquake registered as a magnitude 2.0.  The epicenter was roughly 50 miles north of Little Rock.

Around 2 a.m. Saturday, a magnitude 2.0 earthquake shook the ground about 15 miles north of Hector.  Roughly a half hour later, a smaller magnitude 1.8 earthquake was reported in the same location.

No damage was reported.
