The U.S. Geological Survey has confirmed that a magnitude 4.3 earthquake struck in East Texas near the town of Timson.

According to KETK TV:

Viewers have been calling and emailing the newsroom with reports of the ground shaking. Viewer Tad Bailey said, “I live in Timpson and was startled awake by the force of this morning’s earthquake. I thought it was worse than the last even before I heard that it was a 4.3. I have driven around town and have seen no readily visible damage, but of course, it is still dark.”

No one was hurt and there are no reports of structure damage.
