  CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - The U.S. Geological Survey reports
three small earthquakes within hours of each other in East
Tennessee, including a magnitude 3.0 earthquake that shook enough
for people to notice Sunday.
   

USGS spokeswoman Tish Tuttle said records show 27 people called
about the magnitude 3.0 earthquake that was recorded just after 12
p.m. EST Sunday near Cleveland.
   

Tuttle said Monday from the USGS office in Memphis, Tenn., that
there were two smaller earthquakes early Monday in the same area of
the East Tennessee Seismic Zone, a magnitude 1.5 and a magnitude
2.0.
   

She said the small earthquakes are common.
