No damage has been reported and I wouldn't expect there would be any as a 3.3 magnitude quake is normally not serious enough to affect a building or any structures. I searched the USGS database and confirmed that this is the strongest New Madrid quake of 2023 so far.

The "Felt Map" shared by the USGS shows this 3.3 quake was felt as far away as north of Poplar Bluff even.

As this is a developing story, it will be updated if any new information is released about this late night seismic activity.
