4.1M fracking earthquake in same area of East Texas

January 25, 2013 By TXsharon

I knew there was an earthquake near Timpson, Texas last night because searches were leading people to my blog but the USGS had nothing on their site about it until after midnight.

It’s in the same area as the other quakes. Keep in mind that Texas receives Louisiana’s drilling waste for disposal and you can thank our governor for that.

Maps showing drilling in that area HERE with some information about two disposal wells in that area. Don’t miss the interesting comments.

Document the condition of your foundation regularly and please use common sense when discussing fracking earthquakes. A 4.1 is going to do a lot of what the media calls minor damage. Homeowners call it a disaster.

    We understand clearly that the process involved in shale gas extraction causes earthquakes, so when will our State government put a stop to it? There are too many of these quakes to keep up with in recent times.

      Our state government and all state agencies are captured by the oil and gas industry.

    Texas is a “dumping ground state”. Don’t spend much money on a residential homestead in Texas–for many reasons, including high taxes and damages from many sources including O&G.
