Russell Guerro said he had just hopped on a Zoom meeting and felt dizzy before he realized his building was swaying.

One of the biggest earthquakes in Texas history rattled west of the state.

On Wednesday, a 5.3 magnitude earthquake sent seismic shockwaves for about 350 miles, causing San Antonio College to cancel classes.One man said he felt dizzy before realizing his building was swaying. "I was in a Zoom meeting, which had started at 3:30 p.m. I had only been in the meeting for about two or three minutes when my seat shook back and forth," Russell Guerro at San Antonio College told KENS. "I heard from another employee; they were on the seventh floor, two floors above us, that they actually saw furniture moving.""At first, I thought everyone was just overreacting," a student at the college, Mikayla Salins, told KENS.

But this wasn't the only hit. Two aftershocks were reported to have followed. One at a 2.8 magnitude and the other at a 2.6 magnitude.
