Jacob Riley, chief meteorologist at KLBK, provides information on the Monday night earthquake that rocked West Texas.
An earthquake struck between Snyder and Roby, Texas, just north of Highway 180, at roughly 10:39 PM CDT on Monday, July 22, 2024. An aftershock with a magnitude of 4.4 occurred at around the same place at 10:46 PM CDT. The magnitude 4.9 earthquake that struck close to Loving, New Mexico, on July 21, 2022—nearly two years ago—ties for the eighth-strongest earthquake to ever affect Texas in recorded history.
