Wednesday's earthquake has been upgraded to 5.0. The quake was first measured at 4.9 and struck near the New Mexico-Colorado border. There are no reports of damage or injuries.

Bruce Presgrave of the U.S. Geological Survey says the quake hit southwest of Trinidad and west of Raton, New Mexico, in an area that experiences quakes from time to time. In September of 2001, a dozen quakes hit southwest of Trinidad over four weeks.

Presgrave classifies the latest quake as "light" and says it isn't likely to cause serious damage.

Residents in Walsenburg, Colorado -- about 45 miles north of the epicenter -- and La Veta, Colorado -- a town southwest of Walsenburg -- reported they hadn't felt the earthquake.

No I.D., No Problem: 11 News Goes Undercover
  • Posted By: PamelaSweet! What a great place to be a teenager! Now your liquor is as easy to get as your drugs! Take that Mr. Establishment (total sarcasm haters)!
  • Posted By: KennaYou make it sound like this happened last night or even within a month!! Truth is Im the bartender @ Porkys and I never gave anyone under 21 a beer!!!!
  • Posted By: Phil DuhonGood reporting, but a little misleading. Porky's was stung in July, the video posted was from July and drastic measures have been taken since and before then to stop underage drinking. A bar or a club have nothing to gain from selling to a minor. I am not disputing this report, but the way it was presented is a little shady. I noticed you used Oscar's as well but failed to report that the sting was un-successful.
