[quote]An earthquake swarm continues to rattle Irving Wednesday as a fourth tremor has been confirmed by the United States Geological Survey, increasing the two-day total to 12 temblors. Wednesday's quakes haven't been as strong as the 3.5 and 3.6 widely felt Tuesday afternoon, but are still significant enough to be felt by many in the area. The latest quake, a 2.3-magnitude one, was recorded at 1:24 p.m. with an epicenter adjacent to Loop 12 north state Highway 114 near the Trinity River.[/quote] [quote][B]The recent swarm of earthquakes are centered in an area where more than 20 quakes have been recorded since October 2014, but where only one earthquake was ever recorded before 2008, according to a scientist at Dallas' Southern Methodist University.[/B][/quote] [url]http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Two-Earthquakes-Strike-Irving-Wednesday-287790001.html[/url] [img]http://i.imgur.com/q44O918.jpg[/img] Get your shit together, Dallas. Jesus.
Welp, I'm fucked. In serious, hopefully it's just minor and nothing bad.
What's the cause of this? My first thought is fracking but I'm not sure about that. Not a good sign though
Well, everything is bigger in Texas. I guess that includes the number of earthquakes they have. But in all seriousness, hopefully this doesn't turn too serious.
The dogs acted up for a few of them but they're so weak I never noticed even one. Still, pretty crazy.
I felt the two 3.5s mentioned in the article. Rattled my desk and shook my TV a bit but nothing that really gave me cause for concern. I'm pretty sure most people would rather have a bunch of mini-earthquakes than a single gigantic one, however I do find it odd that I've been living in the area my entire life and it's only within the last six months that I've experienced an earthquake. If we do get any more quakes, here's to hoping they remain small and negligible.
They're awake.
Imminent colossal city wide sink hole.
Fort Worth here-haven't felt a thing so far, so I guess they're pretty localized.
