5.3 Mag. Earthquake Near Midland, TX
USGS ^ | December 16, 2022 | Gina Miller

Posted on 12/16/2022 4:04:59 PM PST by WXRGina

My Mom just called me from Abilene, Texas, and said she thought she felt a slight earthquake. I told her to call the police to see, and we also pulled up the USGS website. The website and the police confirmed that the quake was felt in Abilene that happened NNW of Midland. Anyone else feel this?

A 5.3 will rock your world if you’re at or close to the epicenter.

Did you read my post of Matthew 24

No, but I thought he was awesome in Highway Patrol

He would straight up blast a bad guy.

No court, no jury, no evidence. Just blast him.

Mathews, 24.

Blast 'em.

I didn’t realize there were any earthquake zones in Texas. Was this one fairly well known?

A FB friend of mine who lives in Midland mentioned it on there earlier. I’ve been at home 15 miles east of Abilene since about 5, and didn’t feel anything.
