3.5 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Dallas
Just a few short hours after a series of deep, if not very strong, eartquakes shook north-central Oklahoma, moments ago the ground zero of the US energy industry, the city of Dallas, TX, felt the ground shaking. According to the USGS, this was due to a 3.5 magnitude quake, which stuck at a depth of some 3.2 miles below the Texas city.
From NBC DFW:
The United States Geological Survey reports a 3.5 magnitude earthquake struck in Irving near the former site of Texas Stadium Tuesday afternoon.
The newsroom at NBC 5 at CentrePort near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport felt significant vibration at about 3:10 p.m. as desks and chairs shook inside the building. Our media partners at The Dallas Morning News in Downtown Dallas also reported feeling the tremblor.
The tremor was also reportedly felt in Oak Cliff, Arlington, Carrollton, Addison and elsewhere.
A number of quakes have been reported in the Irving-area since October.
A researcher from Southern Methodist University and his team are studying the source of several recent earthquakes in North Texas.
Was it shale related? The experts will opine, however if the answer is yes, Saudi Arabia, in all its humanitarian generosity, will make sure that the Lone Star state doesn't host many more such tremors.

Time for some Freddie Mercury;
We will, we will, frack you!
Forza Vesuvio!
What the Frack!
Is Christie back in NJ yet?
Christie just took off. C-5 Galaxy.
Hmmm, I work in Plano. I didnt feel a damn thing.
Is that what your wife said last night?
Just before the bed broke..
Ba dum dum!

"3.5 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Dallas"
God is angry with the refs for the odious gift they gave the Cowboys over the Lions last weekend.
I live in Farmers branch -about a mile northeast of the intersection of I35 and 635 just 6 miles down the road from the old Cowboy stadium -I guarantee you would have felt it here. The sound of my house shaking for about 3 seconds and a breifer after shock a minute later scared the hell out of me. I've experienced minor temors before, but nothing like this.
You might want to think about selling. My mom says that people in Azle are stuck in earthquake damaged homes and it has become hard to sell homes in that area in general.

There was a recent study showing that 77 earthquakes in a small Ohio town that had no previous experience with seismic activity were induced by hydraulic fracturing. No previous seismic activity had occurred in Poland Township, which sits near the Pennsylvania border, and the quakes stopped once fracking operations were put on hold. A separate study released in October found that fracking had a direct connection to some 400 micro-earthquakes in the eastern Ohio town of Canton.
According to Scientific American, Oklahoma has seen more than 230 earthquakes registering magnitudes of 3.0 or higher in this year alone. Before 2008, the state only averaged one of these earthquakes a year. The same goes for Kansas, Idaho, Texas, and many other states that are fracking the hell out of themselves.
Bad juju...
Haha! This is what Texans get for telling Californias to come to Texas. They brought their liberalism idiocy and earthquakes with them.
Please post the names and addresses of these so-called Texans so we can beat them to death.
Let this be a warning to those that would encourage californian immigration into the Republic.
I think you meant his plane attempted to take off, when they realized that they were over max takeoff weight they put her back down.....that was the 3.5 tremor.
I was thinking that maybe the Kung Fu Panda was visiting Irving TX

Jeebus is mad about that blown pass interference call
"Drill, baby, drill! Drill, bab-b-b--ooo-ooh-fff-uuu-ccc-kkk!!!"
It's just the ground springing back up after Christie left is all...
The only politician as "big" as Texass!
I thought Christie was getting the stomach surgury that forces you to eat tiny portions. Is he still a fat pig? Maybe he's trying to look like his voters.
The number "3.5" should really not appear in the same sentence as "earthquake".
Hey Catflappo - as a survivor of both a 3.1 & a 3.2 magnitude earthquake I can attest to the sheer terror that these people must have been going through during the quake....
And the poison the frackers are pumping into the ground should really not be called poison, but served to you as drinking water.
Did Killary Clinton step off a plane?
Couldn't possibly be caused by fracking!
Smoking cigarettes doesn't cause cancer!
And Texas leads the nation in citizen IQ!
Now if the state can just have a "Texas sized" one, and fall into the Gulf, we could solve half the nation's problems overnight.
Bonus: if it happens when Christie's next massive pimpfest lands there.
"What fracking?".....
This is what France needs to test some of those reactors.
We are already on it!
If it were not for Harry Reid, we would have our spent fuel stored in Yucca Mountain, instead of in swimming pools all around the nation.
Worst. Idea. Ever.
Ask a kid, he would tell you to bury it so far underground that you'll never be able to dig it up again. We're excellent at digging holes, physically and figuratively.
Because nuclear cesspits are clearly more 'green' than carbon energy. Just ask Japan, China, Chalk River, 3 Mile, Ukraine, the Russian Navy.....
Lets be honest, the only reason you ever use civilian nuclear energy is because is a backdoor into military R&D with a very plugged in donor network. Pun intended. Just ask the French if you think I'm full of it. A nuclear plant on a Capeff basis barely breaks even, and uranium, while in a 10+ year bear market (any UUU investors?) has proven itself to be not worth the site restoration in the upstream & downstream endpoint.
There are a lot of holes in that desert.
What i woudn't give for the actual remake of "The Trouble With Harry"!
Fracking is environmentally-sound and safe.
Nuclear energy is clean and safe.
Lies lies lies. (Thompson Twins.)
Nonsense, this was just the collective Cowboy's fans hope after hearing that Tony Romo is rip roaring ready to go for the next game.
(man I hope they are still in it and he is QB, otherwise this joke not do so well)

Those damn college hippies probably want clean drinking water .... hippie commies. I bet they're against pesticides in food and antibiotics in their beef. Bunch of wimps!
Just cutting back on the earthquakes sounds like a good start.
Google "land of ten thousand smokes...
shheet .... Cali peoples will keep wiping their ass through a 3.5 shaker.

That was no earthquake; that was simply some South Dallas Dudes Ghetto Blaster turned up.
Fracking Hell!!
What? The Frack?
Just get the rest of the Board of Governors at the Fed to get in the face of Jack Lew, Stan Fischer and Janet Yellen to say "no more on our watch" and watch that 3.5 go to 9.0 with engineering service support courtesy of Magna BSP!
Scared the crap put of me. The noise was very loud. lasted about 4 seconds-aftershock was scary too. You can tell this is my first quake expereince. I thought a swat team from Homeland Security was raiding my house or something.
My facility is just a mile from the epicenter. Its an old building from the late fifties with bad floors and walls, and it moved baby! We rocked and rolled. Even stranger our power went out about five minutes ago. I'm sure its unrelated but it feels like the darkish swans are taking to the air!
Bullish!
Fracking coming home to shake rattle n roll?
is Sue Ellen ok?? I wanted to frack her when i was a child..;)
I saw an ad today in a London newspaper that Sue-Ellen is doing a Christmas fairy-tale pantomime show in London now, she ain't at South Frak.
For your consideration...earthquake update and includes fracking perspective and forecast:

That was all the oil traders jumping out the windows and hitting the ground at the same time.
OT: Multiple bodies found at police officer's house> Apparently they were all shot.
"Channel 2's Ross Cavitt spoke to a family member of the victims who says a Paulding County deputy lived at the home.
Neighbors tell Cavitt five people lived in the home. They say it was a a man, his wife, two sons, ages 19 and 8, and 12-year-old daughter."

Thanks LC55.
Crimes against children unit. Hmmm. From personal experience in the 70's w/a "sex crime detective", i can tell you they are some sick pups. I guess you'd have to be, to do that job, just as becoming hardened to blood & guts being a doctor.
I just finished the revised edition of the "Franklin Cover-up". It's odd that FBI chief Ted Gunderson & CIA Chief William Colby were both involved in that case and died under suspicious circumstances. Colby advised DeKamp to drop it & his last contact with him advising him to write the book for "insurance" was 2 weeks before his alleged drowning. Ford booted Colby & replaced him with Bush 41. He said it went all the way to the top. Also notable mention was Buffets involvement, the OKC bombing, militia/patriot movement, IRS jackboots & murder of farmer Gordon Kahl.
This pot has been simmering for decades due to abuse & theft. We're witnessing the boiling over now with these police shootings.
I wish I had a bunker with lots of popcorn & CCTV, cuz it's gonna be one helluva show.
BARELY ENOUGH TO SHAKE A WET NOODLE !!! not news
Either you do not own any houses and are just displaying your antisocial character, or you don't care because your house was not affected - then I wish you an earthquake and poison in the drinking water for your children.
North Korea did it.
Yes, but they had technical assistance from Iran -and Putin was aware and approved it.
[Trite comment on fracking]
Not big enough. And wrong location.
Well, fracking might be a concern given the daily EQs up in Oklahoma, but another concern is that the aquifier is running dry, and a look at a similar situation in areas of Cali around certain lakes, will show the connection to EQs as the land subsides, slowly or quickly given the sun's reduced activity affect on planet Earth... sinkholes and the like. Perfect storm brewing... watch for that 'dark star' grounding the system... and all that follows in the regular cyclical pattern... or yeah, guess that's been whitewashed from the history books... wonder why???
this is the end
I hope not, I was planning to go with the first group.
Here ya go:

Answer: Everyone finds out how the World Trade Centers were taken down.
Oh about the earthquake: Suspicious Observers says we are in a earthquake window due to the coronal hole for the next few days.
I think it's from people running for the border to Taco Bell for the Doritos Taco giveway.
Chris Christie did a face plant when Mr Jones ducked his hi five.... No big deal.
OMG: I pray my favorite hotel - The Melrose - was not damaged. And of course a fabulous Chinese restaurant 5 mins walk up the road.
Dallas???
http://ds.iris.edu/sm2/
sorry but I see nothing there. 3.2 miles would not be fracking related. They also frack for drinking water FYI. I would be very concerned if it was magnitude 5 at zero depth... Nothing to see here.
There have been 10 earthquakes of 2.1-magnitude (or greater) with an epicenter in Irving, TX in the past ~30 days.

Was it shale related?
I've been hearing rumblings just b4 they hit.
What gets my attention is the duration of the rumble always appears to me the same length in duration & can only be felt at 1 end of the house.
I suspect more tunneling in prep for the big one.
we just had another at 6:50pm CST - much stronger REALLY felt this one. don't want to think these are foreshocks for a much larger one but its time to start thinking along those lines.
Dallas just had a 2nd earthquake about 40 minutes ago (the epicenter was in Irving, TX which is just west of Dallas). This one measured 3.6-magnitude. I really felt this one.
