A 1.7 magnitude earthquake was reported in Morris County Monday evening, according to the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

The observatory said the quake was located a little more than 2 miles southwest of Morris Plains just after 6:30 p.m.

Some Morris County residents posted on social media that they felt the ground shake, and some reported hearing loud booms.

Jessica Turner, a USGS geophysicist, said the tremor was noticeable because its epicenter was directly beneath Morris Plains. Morris Plains Police Lt. Michael Koroski said police received about 25 calls reporting a loud booming noise, but there were no requests for service because of the quake.

There were no reports of any damage.
