The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has confirmed the earthquake happened Wednesday night in Karnes County.
A 3.8-magnitude earthquake struck near York Harbor, Maine, early Monday, sending tremors as far south as Boston and as far west as Albany, New York. The quake, detected approximately 12 miles underground, caused no reported injuries or damage, but its occurrence has renewed attention on New England's seismic history​​.
A 3.8-magnitude earthquake centered near the Maine coast rattled houses in northern New England on Monday and was felt by surprised residents of states hundreds of miles away.
Experts say that while it has been quiet after Monday's quake, the risk of one or more aftershocks is not out of the question.
A record-breaking deep earthquake registered in May 2025 offshore of Japan likely was not a tectonic event, but triggered by a mineralogical shift in Earth’s mantle.
A magnitude 3.8 earthquake shook parts of New England early Monday morning, striking approximately 7 miles southeast of York Harbor, Maine. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the quake hit at a depth of roughly 8 miles, rattling the region from Boston to Portland, Maine.
A magnitude 4.5 earthquake rocked the US heartland, spreading shock waves that were felt 200 miles away from the epicenter.
The 4.5-magnitude earthquake — quite powerful compared to most that occur in Texas — happened at 9:26 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 29, the USGS says. It was detected about 12 miles east-northeast from the town of Falls City, which is roughly a 45-mile drive southeast from San Antonio.
As more space junk is falling to Earth uncontrolled, scientists are using seismometers to track the debris.
A magnitude 5.6 earthquake shook buildings in Taiwan on Thursday morning, as a series of temblors hit the island, causing little damage but possibly portending more seismic activity in the near future
