An earthquake of 4.7 magnitude that struck early Saturday morning near a small Texas city – one of several earthquakes that have occurred in the area in recent days – could be felt dozens of miles away, including in San Antonio.
There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries from the earthquake, which struck at 12.32am and was centered about 2 miles (3km) south-east of Falls City, according to the United States Geological Survey. Falls City, which has a population of about 500 people, is about 45 miles (72km) south-east of San Antonio.
About 10 minutes earlier, the area had a 4.4 magnitude earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
There have been about 30 earthquakes in the area over the past three weeks. All the others have been lower in magnitude.
