Dakota News Now's Phil Schrek also tweeted about the event and noted that most would have experienced weak to light shaking with the magnitude 3.7 earthquake.

While rare in South Dakota, this is the third recorded earthquake in the state this year alone. The previous two took place March 26 near Edgemont and on January 4th near Tyndall.
