Small earthquake hits Dacono early Friday morning
Early Friday morning, Dacono residents may have felt a 2.9 magnitude earthquake that was reported by the United States Geological Survey.
The earthquake, which reached a depth of 8.2 km, was recorded at 6:08 a.m. Friday, according to the survey's webpage.
The webpage did not state how long the earthquake lasted.
In the tectonic summary, scientists wrote that there are few earthquakes east of the Rockies and 'most earthquakes in North America east of the Rockies occur as faulting within bedrock, usually miles deep.'
Anyone who felt the earthquake can report it to the survey at tinyurl.com/ys2e4338.
Updated 8:08 a.m. Friday, June 13, 2025: Because of a reporter's error, the time of the earthquake initially was misreported. The earthquake was reported at 6:08 a.m.

Did you feel it? 2.9 magnitude earthquake recorded in Colorado
DENVER (KDVR) — An earthquake was recorded in Colorado on Friday morning, but it likely wasn't felt by most of the state. The United States Geological Survey recorded an earthquake near St. Vrain in Dacono, Colorado, at 6:08 a.m. with a 2.9 magnitude. Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Greg Perez said the magnitude is like someone touching the back of your chair. While this is considered a weak earthquake, people in the area felt it. Seeing fewer moths? The rainy weather has something to do with it Several people reported feeling the earthquake to the U.S. agency. People in Broomfield, Lafayette, Denver, Longmont, Dacono, Erie, Frederick and Brighton said they felt a weak earthquake. Earthquakes happen when there are sudden movements of the Earth along a fault that cause shaking at the surface, according to the Colorado Geological Survey. While it's uncommon for an earthquake to cause major damage in Colorado, it's not exactly rare for Colorado to see earthquakes. The agency said Colorado is an 'active tectonic province' with still-rising mountains that have thousands of faults, including 90 potentially active faults and more than 700 recorded earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or higher since 1867. Most of these earthquakes are hardly felt, but the agency said the state has experienced magnitudes of 6.5 or higher and human-triggered earthquakes in recorded history, and it could periodically see larger earthquakes in the future.

Jetstar Asia closure: Some customers confused, frustrated by poor communication; Taiwan earthquake: 5.9-magnitude offshore quake rattles Taiwan: Singapore live news
The Jetstar Asia closure has left some customers confused and frustrated over conflicting information, or a lack thereof. The Singapore-based airlines, operated by Qantas Group, announced on Wednesday (11 June) morning that it would be ceasing operations from 31 July. They added that Jetstar Asia flights would be operating with a "progressively reduced schedule". For a customer identified as Daniel, he told CNA that he didn't realise the schedule would be "progressively reduced" prior to its closure. Taiwan was struck by an earthquake on Wednesday (11 June) evening, with the quake hitting seconds after cell phone alarms went off at 7.01pm. The quake about 71 kilometres south of Hualien City. According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake had a magnitude of 5.9 and was detected at a depth of 31.1 kilometres. Taiwan's Central Weather Administration gave the magnitude as 6.4.

According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake had a magnitude of 5.9 and was detected at a depth of 31.1 kilometres. Taiwan's Central Weather Administration gave the magnitude as 6.4. However, such differences are common considering the differences in sensitivity and detector locations. Buildings in Taipei shook for about a minute, and there were no immediate reports of damage. A firefighter in Chenggong told AFP that when the quake hit, "the computer screen and fan shook heavily". He added, "It was much stronger than previous quakes. I immediately thought about running outside." For more on the Taiwan earthquake, read here.

For a customer identified as Daniel, he told CNA that he didn't realise the schedule would be "progressively reduced" prior to its closure. Hence, he thought his two planned trips in July – one to Bangkok, another to Okinawa - would not be affected. On Wednesday morning, though, he received an email confirming that his trip to Bangkok was cancelled, so he made plans to book another flight. Daniel said the email also included his "specific booking reference". Yet, when his friend called the Jetstar Asia's hotline, they were told the flight was still going ahead as planned. He now feels uncertain about his flight to Okinawa and it's not clear which flights would be cut from Jetstar Asia's schedule before it closes. 'I'm wondering, when would they tell me about it? Or how late would they tell me about it?' For more on how customers are affected by the Jetstar Asia closure, read here.
