And what makes you so sure?
Earthquakes are from massive pieces of the earth colliding and snagging until the force overcomes friction.
It's hard to believe that a borehole is in any way responsible.
Again - this is the largest earthquake there in 35 YEARS. That means the one 35 YEARS AGO was larger. Was it too caused by drilling? What about the ones 200 years ago ? What about the ones a thousand years ago? I'll bet the Ozarks didn't just fall out of the sky.
My only experience with a quake was a sub-4.0 one in Georgia about 8 years ago, but I'm sure this one was scary. But let's not put the boogeyman behind EVERY event, eh? Just like global warming, we just don't have the power to do the things the left would like to blame the human race for.
Are you sayin' the world has a turkey button? Who knew!
