Metropolitan Los Angeles & downtown Dallas both hit by fracking earthquakes

5/3-A borderline 4.0M earthquake struck Los Angeles, directly at a fracking / oil operation located in DOWNTOWN Los Angeles, California.

Also, after weeks of silence, a 3.2M earthquake struck a fracking operation located in downtown Dallas Texas.

Texas officials, just like the California officials, are also in denial about fracking induced earthquakes.

The epicenter was at the Las Colinas Country Club--I used to work about a half-mile away from there. It's reassuring to know that earthquakes do not discriminate on wealth.

Here is the story from the Dallas Morning News:

I'm not going to give Dutchsinse any Web traffic though since he promotes conspiracy theories (e.g. Doppler radar is responsible for man-made tornadoes).
