Hi, I’m Ali Sealander with UTD Geonews and I’m here to tell you about a temblor that tickled Texas recently. A little after 10 in the morning on March 26, a moderate earthquake struck far West Texas, about 25 miles west of the small town of Mentone . No serious damage was done, partly because it was a moderate earthquake , magnitude 5, and partly because the earthquake happened in the sparsely populated Chihuahuan desert . Only 19 people live in Mentone, the only community in Loving County, Texas. Few people live in this region because it is a desert. People in El Paso TX, 175 miles away, said it felt like a large train was passing nearby. Even though this was a pretty modest earthquake as earthquakes go, it was one of the strongest earthquakes that Texas has experienced in the past 150 years . The earthquake occurred in a region of low seismic risk compared to regions to the west and in Oklahoma and in the central Mississippi River valley to the NE.
We hope you enjoyed this GeoNews video. Until next time, stay safe!
