MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — Editors note: The video in this story is from previous coverage of earthquakes in the same area.
Some Central Georgians may have felt a rumble this week when a 2.3 magnitude earthquake hit on Tuesday.
According to the United States Geological Survey's website, the center of the earthquake happened between Milledgeville and Eatonton.
The U.S. Geological Survey puts Georgia at a low-end risk when it comes to earthquake hazards but we do get a shake every once in a while.
Since 1900, only about 240 earthquakes have occurred in Georgia.
To put that into perspective, on July 7, 2019 alone, the USGS reported 158 earthquakes in California with a magnitude of 2.5 or higher.
Most of Georgia's quakes happen along the Brevard fault zone, which has been the focal point for over 100 earthquakes in northwest Georgia in over a century.
Lake Sinclair has been a hot spot for smaller-scale earthquakes as well.
These earthquakes are due to changing water levels, known as reservoir-induced seismic activity.
