NORTHLAKE, Texas — A small earthquake was detected near Northlake in Denton County late Thursday night, according to officials.
A 2.2-scale earthquake was picked up shortly before midnight on the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) earthquake map.
The map said the earthquake was detected about two miles north of Northlake, which is a small community southwest of Denton. It was about four kilometers deep, according to the USGS.
It wasn't immediately clear if the earthquake was felt; quakes in the 2.0 range on the Richter scale are considered minor and may only be felt slightly. They often don't result in any damage.
