Largest one we've had': 5.4 magnitude earthquake felt in west Texas, including El Paso.
The earthquake happened in Mentone, Texas about 242 miles east of El Paso, but was felt in El Paso and even in San Antonio. It was the largest earthquake that has taken place in the area.

Wow, I didn't know earthquakes of that size occurred in Texas. I'd heard of the little ones due to fracking mainly in north Texas and in the Midland-Odessa area.

The quake was the third largest in Texas history, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. An increase in seismic activity in Texas has been linked to injecting fracking wastewater underground.
