 Oops, no Kris ..      I guess I should have clarified.  I was wondering which T.V. and/or radio station you heard it on, b/c that was a fairly quick response to get the news out on that so fast, as to the centering and magnitude level ..     I know they're the one I'd want to tune in to for further info. if one ever hits again ..  

  btw, your husband was in Watauga when it hit?    What did he see (anything swaying?  any damage?) ..

Here's a newspaper article about it.       Sounds like they're saying it was centered NE of Arlington, "east of Collins and north of the Trinity River":

He was at work off of Amon Carter.  He said his building jolted like it'd been hit by a truck or plane.  A bunch of people THOUGHT it was a plane since they are so close to the airport.
He said his computer monitors wiggled several times later through the day(from aftershocks).

This type of quake was a jolt type as opposed to the rolling kind.  Each aftershock was jolt type too.  When you are standing it feels like someone shoves you sideways.

Kris M.   Ignorance is bliss...but not when you're aware of it!!

 Eeeoww ..  I would have freaked out ..   I remember my parents telling me what those quakes were like when they lived in CA ..  

  I saw a small article on Channel 11's website about it ..    The seismologists think the cause of the quakes might actually be the gas drilling that they are doing in that field near Arlington .   I can't believe mere oil drilling stuff could make that much of an impact, but I guess it can ..   I did notice that in the last 7 months there have been 3 quakes in that area now, with each one larger than the previous one .
