A magnitude 3.6 earthquake rattled parts of southern New England shortly after 9 a.m. on Sunday.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake was centered in Bliss Corner, a section of Dartmouth. Numerous NBC10 Boston viewers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island reported feeling the tremors. The quake was first reported as magnitude 4.0, but later downgraded to 3.6.

There were no preliminary reports of injuries or damage. Police in Dartmouth and area towns including Falmouth, Rochester, Westport and Fall River said they had received calls from residents but no one has reported any damage.

The quake was a shallow one, which enhances the possibility of minor damage and is likely felt across a larger area.
