Crandon area in northern Wisconsin felt 2.5 magnitude earthquake Sunday morning
A magnitude 2.5 earthquake was detected in the Crandon area in northern Wisconsin Sunday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The earthquake hit 4 kilometers, or about two and a half miles, northeast of Mole Lake.
Earthquakes with a magnitude of about 2.5 or less are usually not felt, but can be recorded by a seismograph. Earthquakes between about 2.5 to 5.4 magnitude are often felt, but cause minimal damage.
The Forest County Sheriff’s Office shared on Facebook that it received “multiple calls regarding an abnormally excessive shaking/vibration coming from the ground.”
Some commenters said their houses shook or rumbled, while others said they heard loud noise similar to thunder or a large plow truck going by.
As of around noon on Sunday, 66 citizens reported to the USGS that they felt the earthquake. Most put it in the lowest categories of intensity, from about a one to a four on a ten-point scale.
Those low categories indicate weak or light shaking, with no damage to report.

According to the USGS, the largest historical earthquake in Wisconsin happened in 1947, but was not recorded by seismographs.

A better life is in sight for dozens of dogs.
PAWS Chicago welcomed 25 beagles from a massive rescue operation on Saturday.
Last week, more than a thousand dogs were rescued from Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, after weeks of protests over their treatment of the dogs. Ridglan Farms agreed to sell 1,500 of the facility’s roughly 2,000 beagles, which were then transferred to rescue organizations across the country, including PAWS Chicago.
Celene Mielcarek, PAWS Chicago chief program officer, explained what’s next for the dogs as they begin their new lives.
“These beagles have lived their lives in isolation. They’ve lived their lives in cages inside. We’re going to make sure that they are healthy. They’re each going to get tucked in by a volunteer into warm bedding. They’re each going to get a yummy dinner tonight, and they’re going to start that new chapter of their life,” she said.
She says it will take some time for the beagles to get used to being dogs and understanding what it’s like to live in a home. To help with that, they will be sent to experienced foster homes that will help them understand human connection.
Once the beagles are ready, they’ll head to the PAWS Chicago Lincoln Park adoption center to meet their forever family.
(WLUK) — Just two days after he met with the FBI and Secret Service, Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad has entered the Wisconsin governor’s race.
Bangstad made the announcement this afternoon during an event that was posted on the company’s Facebook page.
He says he wanted someone to “stand up to Trump” and that his main concerns is “saving our democracy.”
Bangstad also shared his dissatisfaction with the current group of candidates for the crowded Democratic primary later this year
“I never wanted to do this,” Bangstad said. “At least I’m part of the conversation that I feel like everybody needs to be hearing right now.”
The brewing company owner was under fire this week after he posted “well, we almost got #freebeerday” shortly after the latest assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.
Bangstad has been a outspoken critic of the president. His company currently has a promotion promising free beer on the day Trump dies, which has drawn heavy criticism in the past.
In addition, his company sells merchandise that’s critical of the president, including t-shirts that read “I wish it was free beer day at Minocqua Brewing Company” and “Is he dead yet?”
Bangstad did not share if he would be aiming for a partisan endorsement, or the status of various required documents to enter the race.
He previously ran for a seat in the 34th District of the Wisconsin Assembly in 2020, but did not win the race. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin did donate to that campaign.
The Democratic primary is up in the air, with several state legislators and officials already in the race.
These include State Rep. Francesca Hong, former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.
On the Republican side, U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany is the front-runner, following an endorsement from President Trump that led to Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann dropping out of the race.
