Magnitude 3.0 earthquake strikes near Big Spring, Howard County, Texas, USA
3.0 quake 26 Aug 9:30 am (GMT -5)

A magnitude 3.0 earthquake near Big Spring, Howard County, Texas, USA, was reported only 17 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 2.1 miles beneath the epicenter in the morning on Friday, August 26th, 2022, at 9:30 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 3.0 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.0.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Ackerly (pop. 230) located 11 miles from the epicenter, and Big Spring (pop. 28,900) 13 miles away. In Stanton (pop. 2,900, 22 miles away), Lamesa (pop. 9,400, 31 miles away), Midland (pop. 133,000, 40 miles away), and Snyder (pop. 11,800, 45 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
