Earthquake felt near Esterhazy
An earthquake near Esterhazy struck early Wednesday morning just before 2:30 a.m., recorded by the US Geological Survey as a 3.3 magnitude quake.
It happened near the Mosaic Potash Mine between Yarbo and Gerald -- the mines were not damaged, and no one was hurt.
Kevin Hruska lives near the village of Gerald, and was laying in bed just before 2:30 a.m. frustrated at not being able to sleep.
"There's a couple cabinets beside the bed and the doors rattled on them and then we have french doors and they ratted a little bit," he said, adding he wasn't too shocked by the event since they've been happening roughly once a year because of a nearby mine.
"My wife was snoring away like a freight train, and boy did it wake her up."
