USGS: 2.6-magnitude quake Friday morning near Bachman Lake in Northwest Dallas

Well, we made it through at least one day without feeling an earthquake.

But following Thursday morning’s pair o’ mini-temblors near the former Texas Stadium site, the U.S. Geological Survey confirms your tweets and emails following some late-morning shaking going on in Irving. Only this one was in Dallas.

Says the USGS, we had a 2.6-magnitude quake at 11:39 along Harry Hines Boulevard, near the Webb Chapel Extension split at Bachman Lake. The ghost of Club Schmitz!

That’s No. 15 since Tuesday’s 3.5-magnitude quake that half the people in your office felt. I’ve lost count how many that’s been since September — something like 30. Could be a thousand. Hard to say. And as a Northwest Dallas resident, I’m also suffering from Phantom Quake Syndrome. Or PTSD. Could just be those new cracks in the wall.

Either the process of fracking is wrong or the rules are not followed, may be a little of both. Thinkingabout Jan 2015 #27
