A small earthquake was reported in Loudoun County early Friday morning.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported a 1.7 magnitude earthquake just after midnight Friday. It happened about 2.5 miles northeast of Belmont, at a depth of more than 3 miles.
Loudoun County Sheriff's Office spokesman Kraig Troxell says dispatchers received about 10 calls before midnight from people reporting feeling their homes shaking. He says some reported seeing a flash and hearing a loud boom. He says there were no reports of damage.
Dominion Energy Virginia spokesman Chuck Penn says there were no reports of any problems in that area.
