An earthquake on Friday night near Reelfoot Lake in northwest Tennessee was felt by hundreds of people in three states.

The United States Geological Survey recorded the magnitude 3.3 near Ridgely, 25 miles south of the Kentucky line. That looks to be the largest tremor of the past six months detected on the New Madrid Fault.

According to the preliminary report, the quake occurred 5 miles southeast of Ridgely at 9:59 p.m.

The depth of the quake was measured at about 7 miles.
