Social media lit up with people in downtown and uptown Dallas reporting they felt high rise buildings shake.

Passengers at Dallas Love Field reported feeling it, and people in Irving said on social media that the earthquake did not feel "small."

Third time's a charm? Another earthquake around 10:20pm...3rd of the day. Not quite as strong...a Magnitude 2.6 #earthquake
