The quake was registered as 4.5 on the Richter Scale. The National Weather Service said there is no threat of a tsunami.
According to the Richter Scale, a quake of the magnitude between 4.0 and 4.9 is considered 'light' and can cause "Noticeable shaking of indoor objects and rattling noises. Felt by most people in the affected area. Slightly felt outside."
The National Weather Service was even asking if anyone in Louisiana felt the earthquake.
