Did you feel the earthquakes last night? Not one, but three occurred in the same area of West Texas: about 11 miles northeast of Hermleigh, a town of around 500 people in Scurry County.
According to data from the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquakes happened at 10:38 p.m., 10:46 p.m. and 11:56 p.m.
The first earthquake registered as a 4.9 on the Richter scale, the second earthquake was a 4.4, and the last earthquake was a 3.1.
While a 4.9 earthquake is considered on the light end of the scale but strong enough to be felt, it actually tied for the 8th strongest earthquake in Texas history, according to Everything Lubbock!
According to WFAA, there were no initial reports of any damage or injuries.
