Large earthquake strikes West Texas, among strongest ever in state

"A 5.0 magnitude earthquake was recorded in West Texas late Friday evening, according to the
U.S. Geological Survey, and could be felt by residents more than 150 miles away in El Paso. The earthquake struck near the border of Culberson and Reeves counties at 11:23 p.m. CST with an epicenter about 33 miles northwest of Toyah, Texas. Three smaller aftershocks also occurred within minutes of the first quake. The earthquake was also felt by Texans as far west as El Paso and in some cities in eastern New Mexico." TexasTribune
