This is about the 5th one I’ve felt here in Texas. Every time I look around to see if someone lightly backed into one of the walls.

Irving is on a very unstable land area. Lots of problems with homes, fault lines run through the area. Had to do many appraisals where the homes have had to be retrofitted with huge pillars under the home.

Yep. I’ve felt most of them over the past few years and this one seemed to be the biggest one.

That’s the soil, not the faults. The faults are pretty deep underground. There isn’t very good soil in and around DFW in general. Go north and northwest, and you will find rocky, stable ground.

That link about the earthquake yesterday was posted at 11:20 am. I live with an earth scientist/geologist, and we are about twenty minutes from Irving and felt nothing. I might have missed it since I've never felt one, but he has and would know immediately what it was if there was the slightest movement.
We were also IN Irving around 2-2:30 pm yesterday in Frys Electronics and no one said anything about an earthquake so it must have been very minor, didn't scare anyone enough to mention it.
A day or two ago, Governor Abbott signed a bill into law that did away with any city or county passing an ordinance preventing oil fracking. Some people think they cause earthquakes but an engineer I know who works at those wells when drilling is going on, explained to me they can't cause an earthquake.
