MAGNITUDE 3.1 EARTHQUAKE CONFIRMED… I just spoke with a U.S. Geological Survey official who confirms a magnitude 3.1 earthquake happened at 1:37PM. The quake was centered just south of the Welka Road railroad crossing about 4 miles ENE of Flomaton, AL. Numerous reports of ground shaking continue to come in from the affected area near Flomaton, Pollard, Brewton, and Jay.
