Right. I had understood that there were wells in the immediate area which is apparently not true.

I think it's plausible that there's a fracking/earthquake connection in general, but in this specific case (per the link) the connection being made is between two points 160 miles apart. Trying to associate this specific earthquake with fracking can only serve to damage the credibility of those making the connection in general. If I were paranoid...

I hate fracking with the passion of a million suns, but...

The fracking that they're saying is "near" the epicenter is in West Virginia. Anyone who knows the area knows that's stretching the definition of "near" quite a bit!

In reply to we actually had something

I was working near Foster City and commuting into the "inner Sunset", near the Park. A heavy lathe tipped over an missed me by a couple of feet. It took eight hours to drive back into the city where some buildings were completely down on my block. Yeah, that was an earthquake, even the pan handlers took a couple of weeks off and the police cleared out the remaining hippie vans along the Park.

Make you say, Hmmmm?

In reply to LOL It is amazing how often

And here's another bit of information. The epicenter is near an area which has been laced with new drilling rigs pumping salt water under the shale layer in the practice known as fracking. This would fit a pattern of fracking cum earthquakes in other areas since 2009, such as Arkansas.

That's hilarious. Thanks for

Now, that's an earthquake... When you want it done right, get Cecil B. DeMille on the job.(Who, btw, with no sense of irony whatsoever, chose himself to do the "voice of god".)
