I'm in San Angelo, I live and work at the Motel 6 that backs up to the Concho River, and it felt/sounded like someone jumped on the bed in the room adjacent to mine, and slammed it against the wall forcefully.Also simulteneously with that the ceiling creaked above me like it never has, like 6 large men were moving a heavy piano.It was felt widely here, with numerous calls to 911.And San Angelo is over 100 miles away!

I live at Verhalen, Texas in Reeves county 20 miles south of Pecos. Didn't feel or hear a thing in all these earthquakes. They are occurring along and either side of the Pecos River
Rift fault and have nothing to do with fracking or saltwater disposal. It is the tectonic plates
moving along the Pecos River Rift down to the Rio Grand Rift.

It’s along the edge of the North American Craton, this isn’t from drilling or fracking.

We felt it 150 miles to the East, I instantly knew what it was I was yelling, earthquake! earthquake!

Injection wells are violating parameters worked out at Rangely, CO in 1969. This is likely intentional as much was in OK.

The longest ten seconds I know how they feel it happened in Utah in magna Utah and the west and salt lake city it was scary

[rebeccacombs]

Uh oh time for that big one, west coast is way past due...

[peggyr]

I would guess without all of the fracking in the area no surprise here.

What happened to the rest of the video? I wanted to hear the insurance info!

[lotharhamburg]

Christ will return soon I pray I've had enough I want to go home

[martybrown]

They are going to continue, all because of Yellowstone national park, and San Andreas fault, that fault and Yellowstone is going to do serious damage and people aren't paying attention,
