    Raise your hand if you think Fracking may have played a role . . :(

    Impossible. Fracktivists say it can't happen....like climate change.

    4.3 is a wee little shake and we get them every few years here around the Great Lakes. I'm surprised that you don't get them once a month beside that big mountain range just down the Yellowhead Highway that's pushing itself up-up-up all of the time.

    Don't be silly. Too much money is being made to even think such a thing.

    We have a winner:
    Of the 86 minor earthquakes measured in Alberta so far this year, most of them happened near Jasper and Rocky Mountain House. This is because active tectonic plate movement beneath the earth�s surface builds the mountains, and the release of this force causes the earth to rumble. Over the years, these mostly innocuous temblors actually make our Rockies even more magnificent, raising their height anywhere between a couple of centimetres to a few metres depending on the size of the earthquake.

    Shoot, in California if anyone tweaks about a pissy little 4.3 shaker we just giggle and laugh. Down here unless it's 5.5 or bigger we don't pay it much mind.

    It's this thing they'll be doing now. There's no actual evidence Fracking is causing problems anywhere for anyone, so they'll start mentioning tremblers between 3 and 4(which is like standing next to a freeway) where before they were rarely publicly noticed.

    It's kind of like when the statistically significant global warming stopped, and "Oh look, weather."

    Hey, did any fellow BCer know we had a 6.6 quake in Campbell River in May? I wouldn't have known except I just looked it up.

    Just for the fun of it Google Campbell River Earquake. See if you can find the CBC's coverage of that one. I can't.

    They just missed the line in CR, I think. It was shortly after that the reports of Frackquakes began in earnest.

    A Frackquake is an earth tremble that would have gone unnoticed before all the big anti-Fracking interests started spilling money into the pockets of professional protesters and minor, previously unknown, earth "scientists".

    That's pretty much what I told my wife when she wondered if it was a result of exploiting the oil sands. She's always got the USGS web site up when she's online.

    Just had a 5.5 in Pretoria, RSA last week. Having grown up on Van Isl was fun to watch the locals looking stunned.
