The USGS later upgraded the earthquake to 4.2 magnitude.

Light shaking was felt throughout much of Michigan and several parts of northern Indiana, including in St. Joseph, Elkhart, Kosciusko and Marshall counties, according to the U.S. Geological Surveys map. Some Indiana residents as far south as Fort Wayne and Peru reported feeling light shaking.
