The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 2.8 quake in the United States near Midland, Midland County, Texas, only 16 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Friday, March 27th, 2026, at 11:16 am local time at a very shallow depth of 3.7 miles. 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.A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 2.8 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 2.8.Towns or…
