A light earthquake has nudged Hooker County in the Sandhills of western Nebraska.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the temblor occurred just before 10 p.m. Sunday. It registered a magnitude of 2.7 and its epicenter was about three miles underground at a spot about 13 miles west-northwest of Mullen.

Hooker County Sheriff Lynn Nichols said Monday that his office hadn't gotten any calls about damage or any injuries.
