Earthquakes in Northern Texas

Northern Texas experienced two minor earthquakes (2.5 and 3.0 magnitude) in the Dallas-Fort Worth area today. No significant damage was reported.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey website:

Most of North America east of the Rocky Mountains has infrequent earthquakes. Here and there earthquakes are more numerous, for example in the New Madrid seismic zone centered on southeastern Missouri, in the Charlevoix-Kamouraska seismic zone of eastern Quebec, in New England, in the New York - Philadelphia - Wilmington urban corridor, and elsewhere.
