ROSE BUD, Ark. (AP) - A small earthquake has been reported in central Arkansas.

The U.S. Geological Survey says a 2.5-magnitude tremor was recorded around 10:45 a.m. Wednesday about 3 miles southeast of Rose Bud in White County.

A sheriff's office dispatcher said she hadn't received any reports of injuries or damage with the quake.

The geological survey's website also noted a smaller, 1.8-magnitude temblor was recorded about 6 miles south of Clinton in Van Buren County on Tuesday.

Geologists say earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3.0 are generally the smallest that are felt by humans.
