Weekend earthquakes reported in Oklahoma while West Texas was shaken by stronger quakes

While Oklahoma had a few minor earthquakes over the weekend, West Texas was rumbling with a 3.7 magnitude quake.

Oklahoma’s two quakes were in the northern part of the state. A Saturday evening quake that measured 2.3 magnitude happened near the community of Wakita which is next to the state line and about 33 miles north of Enid.

The second small quake was Sunday morning and measured 2.5 magnitude with an epicenter near the small community of Douglas which is about 15 miles southeast of Enid.

But West Texas was shaken by a series of stronger quakes, the largest being 3.7 magnitude in strength and about 3 miles deep near the town of Coyanosa which is about 65 miles west of Odessa. It struck around 4 a-m on Saturday and was followed by a 2.8 magnitude quake Sunday morning and closer to New Mexico. The second quake was near Pezuna del Caballo, Texas which is about 56 miles east of Carlsbad, New Mexico.

About 35 minutes later, the little community was rumbled by a 3.0 magnitude quake.
