Look at the location coordinates and the distances from the epicenter. They're different. Quoting: Texan Buckeye You are right. Either that or they are tracking them with the new I-phone 5 and the GPS is messed up. I'm not the expert, so I asked Isis7 on El Q's thread. I'm waiting for her, but I think it's 2 eq's. You're better than I am if you're doing this on your phone! I can't read a darn thing on mine, it takes forever!LOL Nooo...Not me. I don't have an I-anything. I was making a joke. They keep talking about how the new I-phone has problems with the GPS maps and tracking. I was trying to be funny. Guess It might be time for me to stop drinking and call it a night! |

Jonny Blaze User ID: 22472711 United States 09/30/2012 02:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Texan Buckeye Everytime I get off the caprock, it makes me want to stop and take LOTS of pics, and take some new geology courses! Mine were WAY too long ago!LOL I've been interested in geology all my life, but only recently started to get involved again. Did some digging in the back yard and came up with quartz crystal about 3 feet down. Best I can tell, it shouldn't be there. Any ideas? I didn't know you lived south of Dallas, Borian. That's cool. Also, I have a degree in Geology and have no clue why it would be there. What's your soil like? Is it clay or sandy? Sorry B, didn't see this post til now. I'll defer to the expert, but I'm an occasional rockhound and quartz has a habit of turning up everywhere it seems. I've even found it come up in our caliche and it shouldn't be there either. How big was the piece? I'm no expert. But you are right. Quartz is the most common mineral. Silica is tough to erode and in abundance. I was just asking about the soil because I would think it would be stranger if it was in a high clay environment. It could be anything though...it could be the soil was brought in by a land developer, or it could be that it was deposited by a flood event thousands of years ago. That's what is so cool about geology...it's part science and part art. The engravings translate to "This space intentionally left blank." The prayer is inscribed in an ancient script, rarely used today. It seems to be a philippic against small insects, absent-mindedness, and the picking up and dropping of small objects. The gate is open; through it you can see a desolation, with a pile of mangled bodies in one corner. Thousands of voices, lamenting some hideous fate, can be heard. The way through the gate is barred by evil spirits, who jeer at your attempts to pass. |

The only rocks we see here are caliche and I've found several clusters of quarts crytals that acutally look like they are worn by water. I'm 600 feet above the Trinity river which is several miles away. It's intersting enough that I keep digging. Told the wife that if I find gold, I'm bringing in a bobcat. Heh. Time for bed for me, but will definately reply tomorrow. Great to see you again. |

At every news break they say, "There was a 3.4 earthquake tonight just north of Irving. It lasted several seconds and there are no reports of damage." No mention of a second quake and not much mention of the first. I'm sure by morning the story will read, "Drenched Rangers fans stomping out of bars after the rained out Angles game cause heilplots in Dallas to register false 3.4 earthquake.

He said the quake was detected by a seismological station about 65 miles from the epicenter - somewhat distant - and the preliminary magnitude of 3.4 could be revised up or down once further data is obtained.<< Read more here: [link to www.star-telegram.com] CowgirlK |

Power went out at my house. I went outside. The the power came back on. Then the sky started flashing blue. And the power went back out. I guess it was a transformer. There was no noise, but from my point of view the light was in the sky. I was very close to it. I tried to get it on my phone, but it only did it about three times as you said. |
