MONROE COUNTY, Mich. – A small earthquake shook parts of Monroe County.
According to the United States Geological Survey, a 2.7 magnitude quake struck near Carleton on Monday (May 4) at about 5:32 p.m., at a depth of roughly 5.2 kilometers.
The Oscoda County Sheriff’s Office began evacuations Monday for residents on Camp 10 Road, urging them to move away from the river due to unsafe conditions caused by wildfires. (Copyright 2026 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit – All rights reserved.)
