Breaking: Earthquake in DFW, Texas... Felt it.

We just had a 3.3 quake in the Dallas area. I felt a single tremor and thought something nearby must have exploded but there was no boom.

That was my first one...

Any fracking in the epicenter?

Rick Perry just sealed his bargain with the devil for the White House in 2016.

Really? Why would I make it up? What do you think made me check the earthquake reports in the first place?

Facebook and Twitter lit up with people talking about it.

I felt it! My husband and I thought a car had crashed into our house. We heard a loud boom right before the shaking hit. My first thought was another fertilizer plant explosion like the semi-recent one near Waco.

What part of Dallas are ya'll in? I am in Far North Dallas/Addison and we didn't feel a thing...

I felt nothing in the mid-cities of dfw.

I was in Carrollton at the time. The house shook a tiny bit like heavy thunder but without a boom.

It was an odd enough feeling for me to check the earthquake reports.

Frankly, if I had been doing anything but sitting in bed flipping through Netflix I probably would have missed it.

Jezz a 3.3 won't even wake me up. But I'm used to earthquakes, was in my first at 6 months in Japan and live in So Cal now.

Scary huh?

The fracking you think? Lot of evidence piling up - but heh - 'frack baby frack'.

BTW, sometimes earthquakes do 'boom'.

My desktop Earthquake tracker didn't pick anything up. Sounds pretty interesting!

No, you can't.

yes you can. it depends on lots of factors. but you can feel even 2 point somethings. additionally the middle portion of the nation has geological characteristics that locally (and i mean very locally) there are places where it is felt a lot stronger than it should be. a 3 pointer in the middle of america can sometimes be felt 4 states away.

and now the news is reporting damage and confirming the quake. shame on the skeptics.

I was sleeping lol. It didn't even wake me up.
