West Texas Earthquake Shakes Region

BREAKING: Rare 5.1 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes West Texas

Pecos, TX – May 4, 2025 – A rare earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.1 rattled West Texas early this morning, sending shockwaves through the region and prompting reports of minor damage. The quake struck at approximately 6:15 a.m. local time, with the epicenter located about 12 miles northwest of Pecos, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Residents from Midland to El Paso reported feeling the tremors, with some describing loud rumbling sounds and shaking that lasted for several seconds. Social media quickly flooded with reactions, as many West Texans expressed surprise—earthquakes in the region are uncommon but have become more frequent in recent years, often linked to oil and gas activity.

'I was having my coffee when the whole house started shaking,' said Maria Gonzalez, a Pecos resident. 'At first, I thought it was a big truck passing by, but then it kept going. It was scary!'

Local authorities reported no major injuries but confirmed minor structural damage, including cracked walls and fallen items in homes and businesses. The Reeves County Sheriff’s Office advised residents to check for gas leaks and other hazards.

Geologists are investigating whether the quake was natural or induced by human activity, such as wastewater injection from oil drilling—a known contributor to seismic events in the region.

This marks the strongest earthquake in West Texas since a 5.4 magnitude quake near Mentone in 2022. Officials urge residents to stay alert for potential aftershocks.

Updates to follow as more information becomes available.
