Damage from a small earthquake and subsequent aftershock in a suburb west of Dallas was mostly limited to cracked walls and knocked-down pictures.

The initial quake measured at a preliminary magnitude of 3.4 and struck at 11:05 p.m. CDT Saturday, reported the Associated Press. It was centered about two miles north of Irving, a suburb of Dallas, the US Geological Survey's national earthquake monitoring center in Golden, Colo., said.

The Dallas-Fort Worth airport, located near the epicenter, was untouched and kept up with normal flight operations, the AP also noted. Emergency officials said there were no indications of any injuries.

"There were no impacts or outages and no disruptions to flights," airport public affairs officer David Magana told the New York Daily News. "I felt it at my house. It shook it a little bit but it wasn't enough of a jolt to shake anything loose like you have in California. I've been in California and this was nothing like that."

Irving's emergency operators received more than 400 calls after the initial earthquake, with people reporting everything from cracks in walls and ceilings, to a possible gas leak, the Daily News also reported. City officials were still following up on various calls early Sunday.
