A magnitude 3.3 earthquake gave many residents in the mid-cities area a good shaking Saturday morning.

The U. S. Geological Survey reports the earthquake was centered in North Arlington, but felt mainly in Bedford, Euless and Irving.

There have been reports of smaller aftershocks this afternoon, none have been reported as being as strong as the original earthquake this morning.

I didn't feel a thing.

Bush’s fault. (no pun intended...)

[Dallas59]

I never see him, he stays in house alot. Laura’s always out and about. I wonder what he has in his garage??????

[unkus]

Neighbors?

His weather machine. My aunt lives in Highland Park and saw Laura over at some boutique on Lovers Lane.

My sister-in-law saw him down at Elliot’s. Got her picture made with him.

[TexasNative2000]

I thought that weather machine was Rove’s...

As was quoted by another freeper, Hillary’s Nightmare, earlier this week: “Jesus said there would be days like this.”

[Company Man]

Didn’t feel anything at all in south Grand Prairie.

[Jolla]

LOL - good one.

[bgill]

Naw, it was just the Shock Wave ride at Six Flags.

My sister said an earthquake woke them up last night in Roanoke Virginia.

[SlapHappyPappy]

I felt it here in Grapevine. Wasn’t much really. I actually couldn’t figure out if my dog had bumped the couch or it was a quake. I figured it had to be a quake because I thought I heard the door on the other side of the room creak at the same time.

Blame it on the gas drilling.

Didn’t feel a thing.

Did Nate Newton move?

[alicewonders]

Yep. She said it sounded like a big “bang”.

[M Kehoe]

Like I said three months ago, it's Balcone's fault.
