A minor earthquake of about 3.4 magnitude rattles an area close to Dallas, Texas. There were no injuries or damages reported.
The survey’s earthquake center in Golden, Colo., says the quake lasting several seconds began at 11:05 p.m. CDT Saturday and was centered about 2 miles north of Irving in Texas.
According to Associated Press, geophysicist Randy Baldwin at the Colorado center says that the quake was just strong enough to likely have been felt for about 15 or 20 miles around the epicenter. He says the quake’s online reporting system received no reports of any damages or injuries but there were some 1,200 responses from people who felt the quake.
Baldwin says smaller aftershocks are a possibility in that area in coming hours or days.
