So far we don t have any reports of damage and it s certainly not unusual for earthquakes to take place here in the Panhandle region. This quake happens to be the largest one in the area in some time, the last time we had a Magnitude 4+ Earthquake was back in October 2018 that hit about 15 miles out of town. By the way if you re wondering 5.4 is as big as it s gotten so far back in 1925.
By the way this wasn t the only shaking in Texas today. A much smaller magnitude 2.7 earthquake hit Culberson County in the West Texas town of White s City roughly 140 miles east of El Paso.

SKELLYTOWN, Texas (KFDA) - The USGS reported that a 4.3 magnitude earthquake hit about 21 miles north of Skellytown around 6:45 p.m. Wednesday evening.
The earthquake was what’s called “shallow-focus” as it occurred just over four-and-a-half miles deep into the earth’s surface.
Residents from around the area reported feeling shaking in their homes with doors and windows rattling as well.
The 4.3 magnitude quake ranks on the higher end of earthquakes that have happened in our area, with the strongest earthquake striking the Panhandle having a 5.4 magnitude back in July of 1925.
