St. Louis - No major damage was reported after a minor earthquake shook the St. Louis region.

The tiny quake, centered 10 miles southeast of St. Louis, struck around 11 p.m. Tuesday in East St. Louis, Ill., said Waverly Person, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center in Denver.

It had a magnitude of 2.5 and probably doesn't signify a larger quake to come, Person said.

Four people called the center and said they felt the quake, Person said. Such quakes happen about two or three times a year in the area, which sits near the New Madrid Fault.
