TheNiche Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Isn't that supposed to be cofined California only? Nope. Small quakes are fairly common in Texas. Especially west and north Texas. Oklahoma has lots of them. Even south Texas gets them from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Wonder if we'll get one here in Houston soon. I have a feeling we will. There have been a lot of earthquakes in odd places lately.Since Houston qualifies as odd, I think our chances are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a couple in recent years that I can think of that caused blips on seismographs. Back in '47, the Texas City explosion registered as the equivalent a nuclear bomb blast on seismographs in Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved to Houston because I can deal with our natural disaster better. Hurricane coming? Run for cover. But earthquakes come unannounced.The quake in Dallas, how much is its impact? Can it like knock figurines over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
