The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said it had not received any calls about damage, but some area residents reported feeling the quake in response to a question posed by the area National Weather Service office on its Facebook page.

The earthquake occurred more than 6 miles beneath the surface, according to the Geological Survey.
