Minor earthquake reported in northeastern Ohio

  
GOLDEN, Co., Jan 25 (Reuters) - A minor earthquake with a magnitude of 4.2 
shook northeastern Ohio on Thursday evening, and tremors were felt as far 
away as Toronto, Canada, a spokesman for the U.S. Geological Survey said. 

The quake occurred at about 10 p.m. EST (0300 GMT) and its epicenter was 
recorded 10 miles (16 kms) north-northeast of Ashtabula, Ohio, said Bruce 
Presgrave of the agency's National Earthquake Information Center. 

He predicted little if any damage, given the relatively low preliminary 
magnitude measurement, but said the quake was felt in Erie, Pennsylvania and 
Toronto.
