EARTHQUAKE!!

They better be okay, God help them if they would send the FEMA in

Actually there is a rather nasty fault line running from SW Iowa, through Kansas (right through Wichita) and into Oklahoma. I guess I should have been gentler with my SO last night.

I felt it here close to Abilene, Texas. My first time feeling an earthquake. Very strange feeling.

I posted around 6am this morning, damn daylight saving time, turns out this was larger than than the one yesterday, about 30 miles south of me

and no, I do not believe it has anything to do with fracting (sp) methods

Nope, it wasn't Bush's fault. But i do hope that if there is any significant damage, those bastards don't get one penny of help from the federal government. Originally Posted by Doove

The ignorance of most people is just mind numbing.
Sheesh, I share the same road?

The New Madrid earthquake of 1811-12
Look it up. Predated frakking in the region.

Here in SoTx recent quake activity has been
blamed on oil and gas activity too.

The areas are all situated near fault lines.
Is it a coincidence that all major gas and oil
deposits are also located in and around
fault lines and plate boundries?
think dammit no it isn't a coincidence.

The hillcountry is the result of tectonic activity.
Since when is the world supposed to stop
being what it is just because we're comfortable?
The fact that is constantly changing in some
manner, that should be a clue that our comfort
isn't a concern in the least to the RRW.
Adapt or perish.

but I'm aware of the New Madrid fault which is generally located in the Tennessee area.

about the bit regarding fracking, I had brought this up as companies are drilling for natural gas using the fracking technique which have been said to cause small earthquakes. I was only inquring if there were any natural gas drilling activity in OK. This is *not* ignorance. I don't know what's going on in OK.

not very many people are aware of where the faults are located.

So blind loyalty is your requirement for assistance. Nice. On behalf of my Oklahoma brothers and sisters. Fuck you.

Let them eat cake!

Well, at least we found out how truly tolerant liberals are. Thanks for the object lesson.
