East Texas Earthquakes.

Here is a report of an EQ in East Texas.  What I find facinating, is that there was another EQ in about the same area just 7 days ago!

Excellent Nimra!  My theory is this:  With the fracking going on all over the place (and by the way they use hydrochloric acid for this), it is activating these faults.  Comments?
