North Texans might have had a case of the shakes around 10 p.m. Sunday evening, after an earthquake registering a magnitude 2.6 was reported in Cleburne.
The earthquake was recorded about 10 miles southwest of Cleburne at 10:05 p.m., according to a report on the United States Geological Survey website.
Johnson County deputies responded to the area where they received 15 911 calls but there have been no reports of damage yet, Johnson County Sheriff's Office spokesman Tim Jones said.
A quake of magnitude 2.5 to 3 is the smallest generally felt by people. A magnitude 4 quake can cause moderate damage.
Cleburne was in the national spotlight in the summer of 2009 when eight tremors were recorded by the USGS, according to a news release from the city.
