Any one feel the Irving Tx Earthquake at 11:05 9/29/2012?

reply to post by ashtonhz8907


Is it weird that I am kind of disappointed that I didn't feel it?

Yeah, I guess I really don't know who/what to blame either. It very well could just be a natural earth quake...But like you suggest, the data is raising a red flag for me.

Yes, I was at work in Irving Texas and heard a boom and felt a definite shaking lasting a few seconds. I'm from California and this is the first earthquake I have felt in Texas. 3.4 is a no doubt quake.

I can understand that if your from California, but in Texas...it is a large quake.

ya just saw it on my wedgit


from
addgadgets.com...

I live south of Fort Worth and in Cleburne Tx, about 15 miles from me there were a series of small quakes in 2009. It took almost a year for Chesapeake to admit it was fracking tho another fracking site near DFW was closed down not long before these earthquakes began. And no I didn't feel any of them but they were a couple miles deeper. Seems it is the reservoirs of salt water they use.

Prior to that week, Cleburne, about 30 miles south of Fort Worth with a population of about 30,000, hadn't registered a single earthquake in its 142-year history.

Here are 1 and above for the past several hours:

I'm 19 and live in Las Colinas. My bed was shaking and my closet doors were rattling so I freak out get my dogs and run out of my apartment butt ass naked of course my male neighbors enjoyed the show, but I'm sure their wives will have me arrested, but I digress I call my mother absolutely convinced there is a ghost under my bed and drive to fort worth.. I hear on the radio that there was an earth quake and need less to say I feel like a complete ass.

I would have expected it to be revised by now...interesting.

Looking at the link provided provided by DLH it was at MacArthur Rd and Rochelle. Don't know where Rochelle is but my son's apt. is less than 1/2 block off MacArthur.

So Funny.

I might have done the same thing.

Kind of early, but could it be related to the latest large CME from Sep. 28th? www.youtube.com...

Well felt around
Here is a part of felt report from the site found
My family and I were watching the Alabama vs. Ole Miss game and felt the house move a little. We didn't know what it was. We have just relocated to this area from Killeen TX, and my mother from Alabama and no one has ever felt an earthquake before. It was very scary to even think of the ground shaking so hard you could feel the house move. It just felt like my foundation moved a little.
Hope this is doesn't happen all the time. Escape tornado's and hurricanes just to come to earthquakes wasn't my plan."

My EQ app is now showing both earthquakes 4 minutes apart at 1105 and 1109, a 3.4 followed by a 3.1.

Update very late but also a 3.1 four minutes later. USGS

Does that mean a separate earthquake or is that the aftershock? Based on coordinates that was 8 miles away(via road) putting it 11 miles from me, maybe this is why I didn't feel a second one?

Never mind guy above me beat me by 16 minutes.

Hey, just doin' your duty!

Based on my GPS I was 9 miles and 14 miles away from the first and second, I felt the first one for sure and the second one I felt but wouldn't have if I wasn't laying still in bed and being quiet.

I wish I had been outside, especially for the first one. Based on what I felt and what I'm reading there was a big bang/woosh before the shaking. I heard something but was inside so it was muffled. Some people felt and heard nothing though and they were right on top of it. I find that strange.

You would think that after 10+ years they would have found a way around fracking. So below lies my problem.

D Magazine

“You can’t prove that any one earthquake was caused by an injection well,” says Frohlich. “But it’s obvious that wells are enhancing the probability that earthquakes will occur.” Injection wells are nothing new. It’s just that, with the increasing in fracking, we’ve been creating a lot more of them around the Barnett Shale region. The problems, as Frolich explained in to this NPR reporting project, arise when the wells are close to fault lines: [/ex The seismologist uses the analogy of an air hockey table to describe what’s going on. If the air is turned off, the puck won’t move even if you push it. But when you pump in the air, it moves easily. With disposal wells sending fracking waste water deep underground, liquid and pressure are migrating into a “stuck” fault. “It wants to move but it can’t,” Frohlich tells StateImpact Texas. “Until you pump fluids in there and it slips.” Over 6 millions gallons of fracking waste water a month was pumped into each of the wells near the epicenters examined in the study.

It’s just that, with the increasing in fracking, we’ve been creating a lot more of them around the Barnett Shale region. The problems, as Frolich explained in to this NPR reporting project, arise when the wells are close to fault lines:

We are at the La Quinta on 183 and Esters, Irving, and on the 4th floor. Heard a low boom then felt the building sway and jerk back and forth a couple of times. We were watching a movie lying in bed and it felt as if bed was on rollers and someone had jerked it sideways several times. Thought a plane had crashed (by the airport) or something hit the building. Being on upper floor,felt it very well, it woke up others and everyone was coming out of rooms asking what happened. Felt the smaller one a short time after, not as much though

Always a possibility due to electromagnetic interactions but with what we have going on in this area my bet is that it is man made.

I didn't feel nothing.

But I have before, even that far away.

Yup... here too:
