Scary stuff.

1. Nothing will happen.

This state is owned by gas and oil lock stock and governor...

2. How very sad for the people who may die.

3. All those crooked preachers will make sure it stays that way, too

I don't think I ever saw an earthquake there until they started large scale fracking.

4. They'll just find another way of disposing of waste water.

The fracking itself produces smaller seismic events. <= 2.0.

After the Northridge quake in LA I my ears pricked up when a truck went by my apt. complex. Still have a twinge of concern when a train goes by a few hundred yards from where I work and the floor quivers.

Didn't notice the much smaller 2.0s in LA. And Houston doesn't really have quakes.
