RANDLEMAN — There were more mini-tremors in northern parts of Randolph County last week.
A 2.4-magnitude earthquake occurred near Randleman and Sophia on Friday morning. That’s the second-strongest quake recorded in North Carolina this year, according to figures from the U.S. Geological Survey.
A day earlier, an afternoon quake was recorded a 1.9 magnitude northwest of Randleman. That was followed about five hours later less than a half-mile to the east of the first one, registering at the same intensity.
No damage has been reported stemming from the earthquakes, which occurred during a span of less than 20 hours.
There were two small earthquakes recorded April 5 in the county in the same part of Randolph County between Randleman and Archdale.
