Just 13 minutes ago, a 3.4-magnitude earthquake struck near the village of El Indio, Texas. The tremor was recorded early morning on Friday 13 November 2020 at 3.53 am local time, at a very shallow depth of 3.1 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.4 earthquake as well.
