November 16, 20223 yr FRACKING A!!!It wasn’t me! But I’m working on one for the eagle ford. Hold on to your butts Tilden!
November 16, 20223 yr Author I'm about 100 miles from pecos and it was pretty strong here. entire building shook, windows rattled. People were yelling. edit: probably lasted about 5 seconds or so. Long enough for me to walk over to the window, and then out into the hallway. 8 minutes ago, Js1 said: That’s an angry looking butthole well, I mean, it is Pecos.

Why do you hate Texas?* *Note: I know nothing about plate tectonics or oil extraction and reserve the right to take back my snarky comment if fracking has nothing to do with this.
November 16, 20223 yr We've had small earthquakes where I live and a nearby fracking holding pond is currently in the process of draining my water well. I have no doubt what the cause of the problems in my area is. Edited November 16, 20223 yr by kevwun
November 16, 20223 yr Our building was shaking in Austin (4th floor). Thought I was dizzy at first but then saw things moving/shaking. That was a first for me. Edit: Supposedly the third strongest earthquake in Texas history.
November 16, 20223 yr They apparently evacuated my building on the TxState campus, though I wasn't there and didn't feel it at my house.
November 16, 20223 yr I've never felt an earthquake, or if I did I attributed it to something else. Why do y'all get to have all the fun? CHIEF

November 16, 20223 yr I didn't feel a thing on the west side of Austin. This is a common problem for me.
November 16, 20223 yr I worked on a project in LA for a few weeks many years ago. They had a minor (by their standards, not mine) quake on my second day there. Lots of snickering about the badass Texas guy who probably overreacted a little bit when the building started shimmying and shaking. Edited November 16, 20223 yr by conVINCEd

November 16, 20223 yr Sounds like folks that felt it in SA/Austin were upstairs in tallish buildings.

November 17, 20223 yr I wonder if it will affect San Soloman (Balmorhea) flow or caused any landslides in Guadalupe Mountains

November 17, 20223 yr Brisket's already checked in to the thread. Otherwise I’d suspect he had stopped at an allsups out there

November 17, 20223 yr I thought that it was the neighbor's mule scratching its back on the corner of my trailer again.
