HARPER COUNTY — The new year got off to a shaky start in Kansas. A small earthquake shook south-central Kansas. The quake just after 2a.m. measured a magnitude 2.6 and was centered approximately 22 miles south of Anthony, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

It is the first quake in Kansas since a pair of quakes including a 3.1 magnitude temblor were reported in Harper County on December 15.

There are no reports of damage or injury from Monday’s quake.
