Sun Feb 20, 2011 4:13 am » by **Danarmstrong**

Just wanted you guys thoughts on the 3.5 quake south of Ft Morgan,AL Friday night at 5:15 pm.
I live only 50 miles from the center and didn't feel a thing, but I am 41 yrs old and never have even heard the word earthquake in this area. This is hurricane central not earthquakes.
Kinda makes me wonder WTF? ya know. the media kinda swept it under the rug around here. I know this isn't a UFO but I come here daily and it kinda all ties together ya know.
This is a link to one article.

I'm wondering if this and the Arkansas earthquakes are man-made:

Earthquakes Could Be from Fracking, Geologists Think

Geologists are still trying to figure out the cause of all the earthquakes that have been hitting this region in the last couple of years, but they have two basic theories at this point.

“It could just be a naturally occurring swarm like the Enola swarm, or it could be related to ongoing natural gas exploration in the area,” Scott Ausbrooks, geohazards supervisor for the Arkansas Geological Survey, said.

Yes, that would be fracking.

The geologists don’t think it’s the production wells, “but rather the injection wells that are used to dispose of ‘frack’ water when it can no longer be re-used.” The earthquakes are all happening near several injection wells. Local officials are now studying this theory:

Lawrence Bengal, director of the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission, said a six-month moratorium was established in January on new injection wells in the area. He said four companies are operating already-drilled injection wells: SEECO Inc., Chesapeake Operating Inc., Clarita Operating LLC and Deep-Six Water Disposal Services LLC.

The moratorium, which is expected to end in July, is intended to allow time to study the relationship – if any – between the injection wells and earthquakes in the area.

I have a good friend down in Bama. If it's true, I'll see it soon enuff. We had a 5.2 quake up here last year. We are active here, but not usually that big. Strange times indeed. Gaia is cleansing herself

Apparently it is true. Not a big one, but rare for there. Wild
