Texans were rattled by a 5.1 magnitude earthquake—one of the strongest in the state's history—on Monday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The quake happened in Martin County, about 21 miles southwest of Ackerly, according to the USGS around 7:49 p.m.

A 5.1 magnitude earthquake that shook parts of West Texas and apparently centered near Ackerly Monday night was also felt in other parts of the state, including Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, according to federal authorities and social media users who went online to share their experiences.
