At 11:05 CDT, Dallas was shaken by a 3.4 earthquake.
It was centered two miles north of Irving, and was followed by 3.1 after shock a few miles away, at 11:09.
No major damage was reported, from either quake, but 911 saw about four hundred people call in with reports of cracked walls or ceilings, pictures and items being knocked down, light bulbs shattering, and a possible gas leak.
The nearby Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport never even stopped operations, despite being located near the epicenters.
Whilst the city is not a common place for quakes, they do happen from time to time, though never really any large ones.
