3.5 earthquake at valley ranch

[8FOR!3]

This is really gonna "shake things up"

Somebody needs to educate the Dallas Morning (Fake) News. They've been covering every little tremble as some big news. It's not news at all, really.

A few earthquake facts from the U.S. Geological Society:
How many global earthquakes per year with a 3 to 3.9 richter scale: 130,000
How many global earthquakes per year with a 2 to 2.9 richter scale impact: 1,300,000

While I agree that these were pretty small quakes (I office out of Las Colinas, so I right on top of the epicenter), in my first 10 or so years of here I didn't feel a single one, so I get how its a surprise to people.

Their reactions though lol.

That's God speaking.

He's pissed that the roof was closed on Sunday.

He couldn't watch his favorite team.

No, that's God saying, "don't worry you don't need the officials to beat Green Bay you have me next week"

My first experience was a few years ago living in Pacifica. The epicenter was in Berkeley but we felt it good, real good. Was sitting on the couch and all of a sudden we lifted a few feet up in the air then slammed down. We had a few aftershocks and freaked out each time.

Give me tornadoes, hurricanes, whatever but feeling the ground move is a weird sensation, almost like motion sickness to those of who never been in one.

I live about 11 miles from the old stadium site, I didn't feel anything.

That's strange, Detroit lions fans felt the tremor and are all screaming, now what Dallas please leave us alone.

Lol these reactions are hilarious. '89 Loma Prieta survivor here. I fart 3.5ers

Oh yea tough guy? I lay out in the backyard for wimpy category 4 hurricanes

Don't know much about the '89 one, how big?

That was just Jason's adamantium balls hitting the floor after those 4th down plays.

 

[Floatyworm]

Oh boy.......

I pass gas @ 2.8 on the rictor scale








Oh come on....Everybody loves a good fart joke

Sources says Chris Christie apologized for doing jumping jacks

Oh yea, the WS quake. Glad we never had one that big when I lived there.

The issue is that something has started happening in an area where it didn't happen in the past.

I saw some stats that indicated that in an area of Oklahoma the occurrences of earthquakes increased from something like 3 per year to 3000 per year in a 10 year time span. This occurred in an area with extensive fracking and injection wells. That's significant and might or might not indicate a future problem where the magnitudes of those quakes become significant.

How is a magnitude 3 quake even news? Maybe I'm just used to them in CA, but that's so small you almost have to ask if it was even a quake. lol

Because we don't often have earthquakes of any kind here in Texas.

Skip was talking about the quake this morning, said the epi-center was Irving, and there were actually 9 small quakes. The earth shook 9 times in honor of Tony. He took that as a good sign, I agree.

Because Texas gets very few earthquakes? Not a common thing here.

A couple years ago anyone remember the east coast quake that went from like the Carolina's to Maine. I live in PA and never been through a quake. Anyways, I was laying in bed and my blinds started moving pretty decent for like 2 seconds. I was like what the was that. I'm thinking there's a ghost up in my room. Then, about 30 seconds later my bed starts slightly moving and I'm losing my head at this time. Finally, the bed was moving, the blinds were shaking and the whole room was rattling for about ten secs and it stopped. If no one gets hurt and nothing gets broken, going through a mini one like that was cool. With that being said, I'm done with quakes. I want no part of them anymore.

That was a 5.2 quake that had an epicenter in nova. Happened at about 2pm. I remember it well. I was working on top of a 12' latter, standing on the top when it hit. The building we were building was retrofitted because the model failed. Almost all of us though the building was collapsing. Crazy day.

Probably from all the people jumping on the Cowboys bandwagon.
