Yes, you've read right. Two earthquakes were reported in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. One of them happens to be a 3.0 in Irving. The biggest laugh is I didn't feel it. :lol:

That's true. Of course this event still left several residents of Irving scratching their heads.
Although a major earthquake in Downtown Dallas is highly unlikely, "It Could Happen Tomorrow".
