Residents in East Texas and South Shreveport were startled early Thursday morning (May 17, 2012) by a mysterious shaking. Yes, it was an earthquake. The epicenter was determined to be near Timpson, TX. Many residents in East Texas commented they had never felt anything like it before.
Another earthquake reportedly shook things up this morning in Kiss Country. With the epicenter in Timpson, Texas there have been reports of people feeling the action in South Shreveport! Did you feel anything?
