HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – Residents all over West Michigan reported strange shaking throughout their homes yesterday afternoon. It wasn’t a semi rolling past your house, it was a real earthquake! At approximately 12:23 P.M. on Saturday afternoon, a 4.2 magnitude earthquake was registered in Galesburg, Michigan just south of Lansing, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The tremors reached as far north as Muskegon and as far south as parts of Indiana and Ohio. Earthquakes that are felt east of the Rocky Mountains are usually caused by a bedrock fault or are triggered by human activities.
