The US Army Corps of Engineers has been letting ALOT of water through ALL of the SD Missouri River Dams, wonder if that has SOMETHING to do w/ this earthquake(just wondering)?

Thanks, that was my question...
hmmm...
false teachers in a mass “prayer meeting” in Texas,
earthquakes in strange places,
riots and random mob violence...

There is a theory (actually many) that hold that water saturation is the cause of some earthquakes. The great San Francisco quake may have been caused by the filling of Crystal Springs Reservoir that sits directly on to of the San Andreas Fault.
To: Keith in Iowa
There are a number of somewhat inactive faults that run up through ND, SD and NE.
I noted shaking/rumbling ground movement from several Central/South American quakes of larger magnitude when I was a missile crew member at Minot ND. It was enough to cause the suspended crew capsule to noticably sway and to put all of the Minuteman missiles into a gyroscopic safe/locked mode.

I found it Alaska it was hard to even notice anything near a 4.0. You had to be setting still and quiet with a point of reference like arms on a desk. You still might miss it then.

Dallas had one yesterday. That’s Texas, South Dakota, and South Carolina. What’s the weather been like in SD and SC? Texas has been having the worst drought in over 100 years so that might have been the cause. That, or Australia last year and Japan a few months ago so it’s made the rounds and is hitting the US. Bad times ahead, folks.

Interesting how a little 3.5 quake can can be extrapolated into “We are all going to die.” It doesn’t take much in FReeperville...sigh.

Actually, the tree huggers will blame this on unnatural fracking and use that as an excuse to shut down oil drilling in the Bakken fields.

Pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I have an uncle near there and he didn’t feel it at all.
