2.8 magnitude earthquakes hit West Texas

Two earthquakes hit the area Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

MIDLAND, Texas — Two separate 2.8 magnitude earthquakes hit West Texas on Feb. 14-15.

The first struck around 4 p.m. on Feb. 14 just north of Midland.

The second quake hit around ten minutes before 3 a.m. on Feb. 15. This one was closer to the Pecos area.

While the Midland quake reached a depth of only .8 miles, the Pecos one hit over five miles deep.

These quakes come just two and three months after two of the biggest earthquakes seen in the area rocked the Permian Basin.
