The Texas Panhandle was rattled Thursday morning shortly before sunrise with an earthquake that measured 5.0 magnitude and was felt as far as eastern Oklahoma.
The 5:21 a.m. quake was the strongest recorded in the region and was only the fourth of a magnitude 4.0 or greater since 1900, reported the U.S. Geological Survey.
It was strong enough to be felt in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
The epicenter was 24 miles southeast of Miami, Texas and considered shallow with an originating depth of 3.42 miles below the surface. The city of Miami is about 80 miles northeast of Amarillo.
At last word, there were no reports of damage or injuries.
