Billings Gazette<\/p>\n

HELENA \u2014 Less than two weeks after a\u00a05.8 magnitude earthquake struck the same area<\/a>, western Montana was rattling again early Monday morning as a result of a 4.0 magnitude temblor centered near Lincoln.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s quake originated at a depth of about seven miles underground and roughly eight miles southeast of Lincoln at 2:49 a.m., according to preliminary data from the U.S. Geological Survey.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of people from parts of Montana, Idaho and Washington took to social media and the USGS website to report that they felt Monday’s earthquake, though Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton said no damage has been reported so far. People from Deer Lodge and Boulder ranked the intensity as IV, which is described as light shaking with no damage.<\/p>\n
