SAN ANTONIO (AP) A magnitude 3.5 earthquake has occurred in a rural area south of San Antonio.

According to a preliminary report from the U.S. Geological Survey, seismic activity was first detected Saturday morning.

The earthquake was centered about 16 miles southwest of Poth, which has a population of about 2,000.

The earthquake was 3 miles (5 kilometers) deep.

Wilson and Atascosa county sheriff's offices reported they did not receive or respond to any calls in regards to an earthquake.

Well, damn, the Balcones Fault runs right through San Antonio, from Del Rio up to Dallas along I35.




Better map:



By that the earthquake was along the Luling Fault south of the Balcones Fault.
