Thanx for the link round up Infodell ... I have wondered about the fracking myself and the recent rise of earthquake's in our region here (think I wrote something about it even?), had one (mild) last week in North Dallas, several in Oklahoma that could be felt in Dallas. We had one a little stronger about a month or so ago, that woke my daughter and her boyfriend up late at night, she ran out to me in the living room and asked what's happening? I told her it was an earthquake .. she thought I was joking and many other's in the neighborhood wondered what it was ... I knew automatically when the living room out the side's of my eye's looked kind of blurry and that familiar rattle sound, and the ceiling fan started swaying ... I seen it too much year's back in Los Angeles.
I didnt even know about the 70+ story building in London before this. London had alot of building's but not at that height, so it would stand out. I think Dallas' tallest building is about 72/ 74 stories(?)
Earthquakes are certainly very rare in Britain, normally. These correlations are getting more and more ominous.
I seem to recall the tallest building in Dallas being 74 stories. It's right next to that cabin that's said to be Dallas's first building, isn't it?
One block from it actually, close enough Infodell
Actually I wasnt refering to any earthquake's in Britian, but the recent rise of them (tremor's) in Dallas/ Fort Worth. I been here many year's, and this is unusual here.
Right -- there I was referring to the linked article, which mentioned earthquakes in England.
