Breitbart: Lone Star State Meets Mr. Richter: Texas Rocked by Multiple Earthquakes
Texas experienced a series of minor earthquakes on Friday, with the largest registering a magnitude of 3.3 near Mentone. No injuries or damages were reported, although the state has seen a rise in seismic activity, attributed to human activities like wastewater injection from oil and gas operations.
Geologists suggest that these operations increase underground pressure, making faults more susceptible to slipping. Texas has recorded 406 earthquakes in the past month, with the strongest historical quake being a 6.0 in 1931, long before the advent of fracking.
