afterwards. Its a big WHOA moment! Wouldn't want to be in a major quake though!! If I want a rush, I'd rather just ride a roller coaster.

Re: your Q, So does it still stand that the quakes that were large enough to be felt were caused by injecting waste water? So far, those are the bigger ones caused by waste injection.

Like the 4.8 Kansas had last week. They had 4 smaller ones this past wkd, still enough to be felt. That brings Kansas to around 90 quakes for year. Caused by fracking waste injection. Its crazy.
