We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan |

itsamadmadworld User ID: 29771765 United States 12/13/2012 03:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | December 12, 2012 9:05 PM Quoting: SeaPunk FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM/AP) - – The U.S. Geological Survey confirms a 2.6 magnitude earthquake shook the ground near Burleson shortly after 8 p.m.Wednesday night. According to the preliminary report, the earthquake reached a depth of 8.1 miles and was centered about three miles away from Burleson. No damage was reported. Fort Worth police Capt. Kevin Rodricks tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that 911 operators were flooded with calls from residents of southwest Fort Worth who reported “a loud bang, followed by tremors.” “It shook the whole house,” said Tina Enriquez, who is used to earthquakes having grown up in California. “My husband came out of the back and said it felt like the whole house came up and slammed back down.” [link to dfw.cbslocal.com] If it actually felt that way to people in the area, it was more than a 2.6 . . . even though that's what is recorded "officially". |

itsamadmadworld User ID: 29771765 United States 12/13/2012 03:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think its fracking there are way too many reports or explosions Quoting: SeaPunk and this was a small earthquake a loud bang, followed by tremors. I think its meteors.. The north central and east Texas areas have been heavily gas drilled and fracked and yes, the increased seismic activity is most likely a result of fracking . . . in the Burleson instance, not sure what the "loud bang" could be, but you notice in the story one person said it "felt like the whole house came up and slammed back down” and another said shaking was so mild, he didn’t know it was an earthquake at first and compared it to the rumble you might feel if a large truck barreled in front of your house . . . so there's no way to know if there actually was a "loud bang" or explosion. No reports of lights or fires, etc. as far as what I've read. People in this part of Texas need to educate themselves about drilling and fracking and how it correlates to seismic activity. |

Whole lee shit User ID: 11270410 United States 12/13/2012 05:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fracking from the natural gas drilling. There are many natural gas wells in that area, it is the Barnett Shale. That is my speculation. Quoting: The Fifth Element You are correct. That area is the natural gas mecca of Texas.

stormygirl User ID: 26313440 United States 12/13/2012 06:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If fracking were the cause, then that entire area (Johnson County and Southern Tarrant County) should have crumbled away by now. What people fail to realize is that EQ have been happening all throughout Texas for over a 100 years now. They happened before fracking, and would have continued if fracking never existed. As far as the loud boom associated with the EQ is concerned, we heard the same thing during the one that we had in Midlothian in October. I live less than 1/2 mile from where the epicenter was, and the boom was the most frightening part of it all. Not only could you feel the rumbling, but you could hear it, too. |

You are an idiot also...just like Mr. High School....or maybe you are Mr. High School also.... Let me say once again....they have been fracking OIL wells for years with no evidence of causing seismic events and a handful of gas wells in the Burleson area certainly isn't going to cause any....why? Cause they don't G DAMN frack gas wells idiots! |

Whole lee shit User ID: 19114842 United States 12/13/2012 07:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yall need some learnin. They have been using fracking forever. Its a common use while drilling. They can turn up the pressure on the mud pumps to blow out soft rock. Natural gas is in pockets and when they drill through a pocket it can cause a blow out. When that blow out happens they either flare it off or they apply more mud pressure and force it back into the whole. Forcing mud down the hole does the same thing as fracking except its one done for a short amount of time until they pass up that pocket. Funny to see all these oil "experts" talking about shit they have no idea about.
