North Texans Feel Tremors from 5.1 Magnitude Earthquake out of West Texas

DALLAS/FORT WORTH (WBAP/KLIF News ) – Some North Texans may have felt the ground shaking Monday night.

That’s because the U.S. Geological Survey said a 5.1 magnitude earthquake hit near Ackerly, about one hour north of Midland around 7:49.

Residents in Midland, Lubbock, Dallas and San Antonio reported feeling some tremors.

An “X”, formerly known as Twitter, user known as “Kavonni_B” said she recently moved from Los Angeles to Dallas and definitely felt some rumbling.

“May have been a small one but…the way things was rattling up in here…that was an earthquake,” she said.
