I did not. When was it this morning?

Thankfully, I also didn't hear my 2-year-old when he woke up yelling, "Daddy, I need a diaper! I'm poo-poo!" My wife heard it, though.

Around 11:30. I was sitting in my recliner drinking a cup of coffee when it happened. It was enough to make the chair rock forward slightly. Channel 11 received several calls reporting it.

ARLINGTON (CBS 11 News) ― A magnitude 3.3 earthquake gave many residents in the mid-cities area a good shaking Saturday morning.

The U. S. Geological Survey reports the earthquake was centered in North Arlington, but felt mainly in Bedford, Euless and Irving.

There have been reports of smaller aftershocks this afternoon, none have been reported as being as strong as the original earthquake this morning.

The USGS office in Golden, Colorado says they have a report of one aftershock after the initial earthquake. The aftershock registered between 2.0 and 2.5 on the richter scale.

That's about the time that I got out of bed.

Never noticed it. But, then again, I was in the theater watching, "Star Trek" at the time. If I felt it at all, I probably mistook it for vibration from the theater speakers.

I don't think it was felt in your area. The epicenter was about a mile or so from my house.
