Its been a day of a good, long soaking rain here in DFW and been a longtime coming. Wonder if rain getting into the dry ground at deeper levels has been a factor in helping to cause the earth tremor?
Ain't that the truth. I'm a rain gutter contractor, so you know I've been praying for rain :-)
Thank goodness we finally got some (and not just for business sake). We really needed that.

I highly doubt it. It takes a gargantuan amount of force to shake a whole region like that. Far more than ground penetrating rainwater can exert. The same plate tectonics that move the west coast so much, are responsible for what we felt here tonight. There's just a lot less movement in this part of the country.
