Whole Lot of Shaking Goin' On in Big D

[Stallion]

7 Earthquakes in 8 Hours within 1/2 Mile of Old Texas Stadium Site ranging from 3.7 to 1.9. Texas Stadium is on the western side of Dallas County which has very little oil and gas activity. But its within a few miles of Tarrant County which is the eastern most border of significant recent fracking and oil and gas recovery areas. There was a very visible area of oil and gas recovery in recent years at the South entrance of DFW International Airport just miles from Texas Stadium. And DFW had a very public sale of fracking rights to the huge area upon which the airport sits. The Texas Stadium area has probably had 30 earthquakes in recent months and there have been hundreds in other parts of the geological formation to the west. Whole lot of Red State Republicans starting to get concerned as millions live close to these areas

Ha! I notice that Rachal Maddow already did a segment about a year ago on the connection between fracking and earthquakes at DFW Airport

1. Well Big D does sit right on a huge fault line, but there is no chance

of anything happening. I don't remember which one it is, maybe Balcones fault? Hard to think of huge earthquakes in Texas.

2. It's so amazing to me

- when I worked with several area Indian tribes for a few years, I learned that one of their stories is that the world will end with earthquakes. I couldn't make the connection, and believed through my own stories that it would be from pollution, or nuclear devastation. It amazes me now that there may be some premonition in that, the foreknowledge that human greed - eviscerating the very guts of our Mother Earth - would be a factor in our demise.

3. ...and there's another preliminary 3.6M -No. 9

luckily my home is about 8 miles away.
