MOBILE, Alabama (WALA) -  There was a small earthquake off the coast of Alabama Friday night.

The United States Geological Survey reports the 3.5 magnitude earthquake happened at 5:15 p.m. The epicenter was located in the Gulf of Mexico about 10 miles southwest of Gulf Shores.

Just after the reported time of the quake, the Fox10 Newsroom received numerous phone calls from people along the coast who said they felt the tremor.

Bob Grip spoke with Dauphin Island Mayor Jeff Collier shortly after the earthquake. Collier said authorities on the island had not received any reports of damage.
