LITTLETON, Mass. -- The U.S. Geological Survey reports a small earthquake rattled some communities west of Boston.
The epicenter of the 2.5 magnitude quake was about one mile from Littleton Common and about five miles from Ayer. It was felt at 1:23 a.m. Friday.
There were no reports of any damage.
Littleton police dispatcher Sam Welch said the department received a number of phone calls from people who heard or felt the temblor and were wondering what it was. But he said there were no reports of any problems associated with it.
