COUSHATTA, La. – Another week and two more earthquakes in Red River Parish.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a magnitude 3.1 earthquake was reported Thursday morning about 5 miles east of Coushatta. Less than an hour later, another quake of the same magnitude struck in roughly the same area.
Seismologists measured the depth of the first quake at about three miles and the second at six miles.
Both quakes were about the same strength as two quakes reported there last month.
The minor earthquakes have been happening periodically in that general area for more than a year.
