Rare M5.0 Earthquake Strikes Texas – Only The Third Quake To Hit M5.0 in The Lone Star State – More Than 1,000 Reports
A rare M5.0 earthquake hit at a depth of 5.2 miles near Mentone, Texas just after 10 a.m. Thursday, March 26, 2020.
The earthquake was reported initially as a 4.7 but was upgraded to 5.0 later, making it only the third earthquake to hit 5.0 in Texas history.
More than 1,000 people reported feeling the quake as far as El Paso, Midland, McCamey and Lubbock in Texas, in New Mexico and in Ciudad Juarez and other Mexican towns near the border with the U.S.
According to witnesses, this is one of the largest tremors felt in West Texas recently, a really big earthquake for West Texas standards.
A sheriff said it shook for a good 30-45 seconds.
The major quake was preceded by a M3.8 earthquake just before 4 a.m. and was followed an hour later by a M3.0 tremor.
