CLEBURNE – Cleburne residents reported hearing a clap of thunder this morning, but the skies were blue.
That’s the word from a spokesman for the North Central Texas city after another earth tremor was detected there.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the 8:02 a.m. Monday tremor registered a 2.3-magnitude centered in a western neighborhood of Cleburne.
City spokesman Charlie Hodges says that after the sound like a thunder clap, residents reported hearing a low rumble for about two seconds, then nothing. He says no damage nor injuries were reported.
The tremor comes a day after a 2.6-magnitude tremor reported in the Parker community, about 10 miles to the southeast of Cleburne. A 2.8-magnitude quake Tuesday hit Cleburne on Tuesday.
Wow I sure did not feel it, but I do have to say that I fell down earlier, and it was not me….
