Over the past 30 days, Texas has recorded 28 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. The remaining 28 fell in the M2.5–M3.9 band. By depth: 28 shallow (<70 km). 12 of the epicenters were offshore. 10 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 44 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Focal depths ranged from 3.9 km to 9.5 km. All 28 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
Leading the list is a magnitude 3.8 event near 57 km S of Whites City, New Mexico at 6.1 km depth. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 3.6 near 20 km NNW of Jal, New Mexico, trails by 0.2 magnitude units — a narrow gap, indicating two comparably energetic events in the current window. Rounding out the top three is a magnitude 3.1 earthquake near 12 km WSW of Stanton, Texas.
