It looks like there have been anywhere from 3 to 7 in the area in 8 months. (Depends on who you ask).
The question is WHY?
Looks like Don Young and Durango discussed last month.
The book they discussed lists the following three human activities that commonly induce earthquake activity as:
1) Injecting high pressure fluids into rock formations beneath the earths surface. (CHECK - Courtesy of gas industry)
2) Withdrawing large amounts of fluid or gas. (CHECK- courtesy of gas industry)
3) Construction of reservoirs and lakes. (CHECK - courtesy of Trinity Uptown Pork, aka your tax dollars)
