Earthquakes continue to strike Eagle Ford
Low-magnitude earthquakes continue to plague a patch of the Eagle Ford Shale just southeast of San Antonio.
The U.S. Geological Survey confirmed a 2.8-magnitude earthquake took place near Las Moras Creek and County Road 204 a few miles northwest of Falls City, just before 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Karnes County Sheriff Dwayne Villarrealtold the Business Journal that his office did not received any reports about the earthquake or any damage from it.
Falls City is not alone. Things have quieted since a rash of earthquakes in 2015, but five low-magnitude tremors have been reported within a 90-mile radius of San Antonio over the past year.
The most recent tremors were a 2.9-magnitude quake that hit near the Fayette County town of Flatonia in October and a 3.0-magnitude quake reported near the Karnes County town of Panna Maria in July.
