Earthquake again.

Just felt a pretty decent tremor here in LV.

That was just God hyping the new Dwayne Johnson flick.

Just felt a pretty decent tremor here in LV.

Just arrived in Vegas about 20 minutes before it hit. Not a great omen for my weekend.

I somehow didn't feel it, although lots of people in my office did. On the plus side, I'm on my way to St. George in about 2 hours, so maybe I'll get in on the aftershocks!

I didn't feel it. I was at the park with my boys, so I'll blame it on that weird corky stuff at the play ground. My 15 month old did trip inexplicably several times, so probably the earthquake. My wife called and had felt it though. Just further evidence that I'm insensitive.

Woman in my office has a son in the Vegas mission. Of course she had to quickly call the mission office to make sure he's OK.

God protects his missionaries - the kid's OK.

A bit of a mess on the 95/I-15 interchange.

Looks like it was downgraded to 4.8 and moved to near Caliente, NV, wherever that is...

This seems to be one of the better ones in that area in a while...

An interesting thing about the baby quakes we have experiencing here in North Texas and Oklahoma is they are "most likely" man caused...

What's causing Texas earthquakes? Fracking 'most likely,' report says

[...]
Concentrated within the Dallas metro area, the frequency of this activity has dramatically increased this year. There were 25 small quakes in January alone.


Most are small, but for an area that the USGS says had only one recorded earthquake in the 58 years before 2008, the uptick has many in the community concerned.


Hough, who has studied seismic activity for years, says the shaking pattern "fits the mold of induced quakes."


To translate: the seismic activity could be a result of human activity, namely the disposal of a byproduct of hydraulic fracturing called "flowback water."

Here is the map showing the concentration of these quakes...



And the following shows the uptick in the frequency of these quakes in Oklahoma...



About two to 20 earthquakes every day. http://thinkprogress.org/climate/201...exas-oklahoma/
