Earthquakes are the “fracking is evil line du jour”. Most people will not even notice a quake of 3 on the Richter scale. That level of quake happens over a million times per year and does not cause property damage. It’s an exponential scale, where a level 3 is 10 times more powerful than a level 2. Few humans can tell a 2 happened.
Well, I can tell you that I’ve actually noticed the earthquakes and have put in several online USGS reports. There have been times I’ve been woken up out of a sleep at night, and other times during the day and evening. One time I remember that three of us in the house were wondering what on earth was going on as the house “rocked and rolled” ... :-) ... with things swinging and swaying in the house. We’ve developed cracks in the outside stonework because of these quakes, too. People are starting to grab earthquake insurance now, too ... LOL ...
And in addition, beyond the “noticing” part, buildings in many places in the state are being damaged, too ... something that didn’t happen at this frequency ... going back a decade. It all started picking up dramatically around 2009.
