An earthquake rocked northern Illinois early Monday morning.
At 2:53 a.m. local time, a 3.4 magnitude earthquake shook the ground around Somonauk, Illinois, according to the United States Geological Survey. The village is around 64 miles west of the Chicago.
People in cities and suburbs to the west of the Windy City, like Aurora, reported feeling weak or light shaking, however the tremors would not have been strong enough to cause damage.
Damage from earthquakes doesn't occur until the quake reaches a magnitude of 4 or 5, according to the USGS. But other variables, like the distance from the earthquake or a building's construction, can affect that.
