The earthquake was located 11 miles east of Pleasanton and 35 miles south of San Antonio. It's the 12th strongest quake ever in South Texas.
A magnitude 3.7 earthquake was reported in South Texas early Thursday afternoon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake was originally reported as a magnitude 3.6, but was upgraded to a 3.7 upon further investigation. The earthquake was centered in a far eastern part of Atascosa County , 11 miles east of Pleasanton . That’s about 35 miles south of the San Antonio metro area. It occurred at 12:03 p.m. Thursday. According to the U.S.
That’s considered a micro-quake, and is not normally felt at all. Is fracking to blame? Atascosa County lies in the Eagle Ford Shale, a swath of South Texas stretching from the Rio Grande near Laredo to the northeast, parallel to Interstate 35. The region has become important to oil production in Texas, and fracking is common there. Production in the area has been increasing: Both 2021 and 2022 saw an increase in drilling permits in the region.
