[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Earthquake? (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 1/6/2015 5:16:44 PM EDT
| A buddy in Grapevine, my wife at work in Carrollton, and her friend in Dallas all just felt a noticeable moving. Anyone else notice that? |

That was some good shaking,
3.5 magnitude http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usc000tc7z#shakemap Felt like our office building was bouncing for about 5 seconds. |
I35 and Regal. Sounded like a truck slammed into the building and a full 2 - 3 seconds of tremors. Building swaying, blinds swinging. Water in my glass was doing the Jurassic Park thing. I don't think the office tower we're in (built in the 70's) is earthquake rated

I wonder if they felt it?
They are studying the area around old stadium for quakes as well. I wonder if they felt the one today? edit...I see they did. |

None of this happened until they imploded Texas Stadium. The Lord is pissed because Jerry will not open he roof at the new stadium. The quakes are him voicing his displeasure.

They are blasting tunnels and building an underground complex like the one under the airport in Denver.  Yea, i wonder why. Cant deny fracking for ever.

WTH you guys worry about? It's only 3.6... It's like someone just slightly pushes you. Well being that dallas isnt a place in texas to be know for earthquakes and in the past years it has been hit more and more. Yea i think thats something to raise an eyebrow about. Whether it's the removal of the water or frakeing someone better figure it out instede of just saying "nothing to see here" ya know. Snipets: Q: Have earthquakes occurred in Dallas-Fort Worth in historic times? A: Yes. On October 30, 2008, an earthquake was felt in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. Since May 16, 2009, several earthquakes have been felt in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. "earthquakes near Dallas-Fort Worth and Timpson, Texas, seem to be triggered by fluid waste disposal operations." http://www.ig.utexas.edu/research/seismology/TXEQ/faq_tx.html Dallas has had: (M1.5 or greater) 8 earthquakes today 9 earthquakes in the past 7 days 16 earthquakes in the past month 36 earthquakes in the past year http://earthquaketrack.com/us-tx-dallas/recent Texas has experienced more than 100 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or greater since 1847. However, because the density of both seismographs and people has been very low in Texas, knowledge of the state’s seismicity is undoubtedly incomplete. http://www.texasalmanac.com/topics/environment/notable-earthquakes-shake-texas-occasion To me it sure seems like history shows quakes in dallas has only started within a few years. Something to think about |

Change my drawers nervous! |

Let me ask a silly question:
Has anyone had ANY negative effects from the earthquakes? Cracked sheetrock? Broken windows? Ruptured gas lines? Picture of your dead Aunt Edna fell off the wall? Anything? I live on the east side of Dallas Co., people in Mesquite have claimed to have felt it but I actually haven't felt or noticed anything yet. Actually I'm more disturbed by the assholes racing on my street in shitty pickup trucks and dirt bikes, than any earthquake. California hasn't fallen off into the ocean yet, despite my best wishes, so I doubt Irving is going to get swallowed up in a giant sink hole and form a lake filled with contaminated fracking water. And it's preferable to have a bunch of little quakes instead of one big quake, right? |

No scientific evidence fracking is the cause. Fort Worth actually lies on a well known fault line. V No recorded earthquakes in DFW in the entire history that records have been kept....until 2008 when gas drilling started. Now they are more and more frequent and centered directly below drilling sites. I enjoy reading the gas industry blaming something other than their exploration activities. Really makes me and everyone else just laugh. How can you not laugh? Does not matter much anymore, really. So many people felt the earthquakes yesterday that the drilling industry now has awoken a million haters in DFW. No one likes earthquakes and property damage. Water mains that broke yesterday were blamed on the earthquakes, so is some property damage to some homes. Chimneys and home furnishings mostly. |

The USGS site said that one of the quakes, the one that started this thread, was centered 3.5 miles down. Isn't that way below the depths where fracking takes place? The way i understand the whole thing is they are pumping water into shell thats has cracks in it. The pressure and lubeing areas that was once dry is like adding oil to a dry bearing. Normally there is to much friction to let things move. But all the water ( which isnt just water, a whole other issue concerning our drinking water) is reducing that limit. That was my take of it from a guy who works it |
