Wild speculation on my part-I live in South Central Texas,and a few mild earthquakes occur south of San Antonio from time to time. There has also been speculation that the western half of the Gulf of Mexico(the Texas coastline and the Yucatan Peninsula)is actually the remnants of a big meteor strike. Wonder if there's a connection.

The meteor strike 66 million years ago that kilt off the dinosaurs was in the vicinity of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Supposedly kicked up stuff as far as the Pacific Northwest.

Don't know about the connection but, the Chixlub (dino killer 65 million years ago) crashed just north of the Yuchatan in the Gulf of Mexico.
