West Fertilizer Blast Triggers Equivalent of 2.1 Magnitude Quake

From KVUE ABC:
Wednesday night's massive explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas was recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey as a 2.1 magnitude earthquake at 7:50 p.m.

That shock wave was felt as far away as North Texas.

"I live in Groesbeck," wrote Rayne Sibley on KVUE's sister station WFAA's Facebook page. "I heard a large boom and my house shook."
Facebook users in Venus, Grandview, Cleburne, Ennis and Ferris also reported feeling the shock wave.

"Shook my doors!" wrote Nancy Procaccini of Combine. "Thought it was earthquake!"
