4.9 Magnitude Earthquake Rattles West Texas, Felt 200 Miles Away

The tremor, among the strongest in state history, caused minor shaking in North Texas but no significant damage.

Residents in Fort Worth and surrounding areas reported feeling tremors late Monday night.
The earthquake's epicenter was near Hermleigh, Texas, with subsequent aftershocks recorded.
This event ties for the eighth strongest earthquake in Texas history.
Increased seismic activity in Texas has been linked to human activities like fracking.
Geologists emphasize that while such quakes are rare, they monitor induced seismicity closely.
