Another earthquake has rattled North Texas. Around 4 a.m. Sunday, a 2.4-magnitude quake hit Arlington.
The epicenter was at Pecan Street and Main Street in downtown Arlington, the city’s fire department says. That's near the University of Texas at Arlington.
Arlington’s 911 center received several calls from residents reporting explosions and that their houses were shaking.
The Arlington Fire Department says there are no reports of damage related to the quake – either to residences or city buildings.
Since late last year, a few dozen earthquakes have rocked the Azle-Reno area northwest of Fort Worth. Although the quakes are considered relatively small, they’ve been large enough to cause damage and raise alarm.
Both the mayors of Reno and Azle believe there’s a link to the disposal wells from oil and gas drilling in the area.
Earthquake coverage
In June, KERA and StateImpact Texas held a forum in Azle to discuss the earthquakes. Listen to that forum here.
For several months, KERA and StateImpact Texas reporters have covered the earthquake swarm. Here are examples of recent stories.
