Texas hit by DOZENS of earthquakes in less than 24 hours

Daily Mail
By CHRIS MELORE
3 April 2025



The state of Texas has been rocked by over a dozen earthquakes in just the last day.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the quake struck just north of Odessa at 8:14am CT.

Just 15 minutes earlier, a 3.4 magnitude earthquake struck roughly 30 miles away.

Since 4am CT on Wednesday, Texas has experienced 16 minor earthquakes, all along the central and western parts of the state.

In April alone, USGS has recorded 36 earthquakes in this part of Texas, stretching from Stanton (41 miles northeast of Odessa) to Culberson County along the state's western border with New Mexico.

The vast majority have been very small tremors, measuring between 1.0 and 1.8 in magnitude.

However, two quakes this morning were larger, the 3.4 magnitude quake and a 2.1 tremor 13 minutes later in the same spot - approximately 17 miles southwest of Garden City.

Since March 13, USGS revealed that there have been a staggering 311 tiny earthquakes in this region of Texas.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Wow. Just think of all the tectonic stresses being let off in small events.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This is pure fear mongering, a climate idiot's baseline

Back in 08 an earthquake hit Dallas in the we hours of the morning.  The damage was horrific.  A throw pillow on our couch was thrown on the floor.
