with what they showed of people and some things happening with a 5.0 quake, be very glad they aren't any worse than that such as those seen in other parts of the world...............
They think it is from the massive amounts of fracking fluid being used now. It makes small fractures bigger and dissolves some minerals like salt and limestone. Then the rocks shift after the fluid and oil are pumped out leaving large voids.

Ok is particularly vulnerable to this. Have had a few around N. Texas also. Not many that I know of in west Texas.

They inject saltwater from oil and gas drilling into disposal wells. The practice has increased 10 fold in recent years and the number of earthquakes have increased with it. The state has been starting to limit saltwater injection in the areas most prone to earthquakes. It seems to be helping a little.

I am sure that Randy, H1, and myself could send some of this stuff to you and Hoxy down in AZ...............
It'd never survive the shipping. More often than not, the rain evaporates before it hits the ground. It's just how we like it.

Morning all.....tis the 8th of November and you must remember to go vote and vote often......the choices are many and quality also......

This will prove to be an interesting day......some folks have gone to the bank and taken out cash in case the economy tanks......I doubt if that happens if Hillary gets in because it will be the same ole same ole borrow print tax....stuff like that......if the Donald gets in that could rock our world a bit I'm thinking......and we need to face it now or just keep sweeping it under the rug until it really blows up later.......

Here is pic to get you started of my GS........I think its important to look at nice things early in the morning.....gets the day started right.....anyone else have some nice things they want to look at......???
