A small earthquake rattled northeast Ohio on Sunday night, shaking traffic cameras along I-90.

The 3.6-magnitude quake struck just before 11 p.m. about 2.5 miles southeast of Madison in Lake County, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said.

The temblor was initially reported at 4.0 magnitude, but the agency later updated it to 3.6.
