Unfortunately, the disposal of fracking fluids by injecting them deep underground seems to have more than a coincidental correlation with increased seismic activity.

Which do about as much damage as a heavy truck passing on the road.

So far I’ve ridden out 4 known disposal well earthquakes and if that is what we have to fear from gas production in the US, I’ll ride out a 1,000 more.

Thunderstorms in Texas shake my house much more than the 3.5 mag earthquakes. Having felt nearby 5.5’s in Japan, I’m pretty sure my house would make it through those unscathed, too.
