A 2.8 magnitude earthquake rattled parts of Virginia on Tuesday, around 5:30 p.m. The quake occurred a little over a half mile northeast of Wyndham, at a depth of 0.1 kilometers. Over 1,300 reports were made to the USGS, but no damage was reported.

While it caught many residents by surprise, Martin Chapman, a geophysics professor at Virginia Tech, said quakes like these happen at least once every year or two.

No damage or injuries were reported from the small quake in central Virginia, but many people reported it to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The earthquake made a minor impact at around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The epicenter of the quake was in Wyndham, Va., a suburb of Richmond.

The USGS said the earthquake's epicenter was about 1 kilometer from the town of Wyndham, near Short Pump and Glen Allen.

A 2.3 magnitude earthquake shook Henrico County on Wednesday hours after another earthquake reportedly took place in the county.
