Moments ago a 4.7-magnitude earthquake struck 5km SSE of Falls City, Texas, United States at a very shallow depth of 2.8km. It struck at 12:32 am local time.

The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.

Moderate shaking probably occurred in Falls City (pop. 660) located 3 miles from the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Seguin (pop. 27,900) located 43 miles from the epicenter, Converse (pop. 22,000) 44 miles away, San Antonio (pop. 1,434,600) 45 miles away, Cibolo (pop. 33,400) 45 miles away, and Schertz (pop. 43,100) 45 miles away.
