No injuries or damages are being reported after a minor earthquake shook things up Friday afternoon in Berks County.  State officials say the two-point-four-magnitude quake was reported just after 4:30 p.m.  The quake, which was centered about five miles underground, probably came and went without anyone but state geologists noticing it. Friday’s quake follows a significantly more powerful, four-point-seven-magnitude incident reported in Lebanon, New Jersey earlier this month.  Officials say that quake was felt here, as well as in Maryland and New York.
