3.0 magnitude earthquake
SAN ANTONIO (AP)— A small earthquake struck about 45 miles southeast of San Antonio early Saturday.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 3 quake shook an area near Karnes City about 6:48 a.m. CST. The epicenter was in Falls City, about seven miles northwest of Karnes City. No damage has been reported.
A quake of magnitude 2.5 to 3 is the smallest generally felt by people. The area of Saturday's quake is not immune to temblors. In November, a 3.3 magnitude quake was detected in the region. A magnitude 4.8 quake struck in October.
There have been five earthquakes in North Texas in the past six months. The latest happened near Godley, with others in Dallas, Ellis, and Johnson counties.
Texas' largest recorded quake was measured in 1931 at 5.8 magnitude near Valentine in far West Texas.
