The practice of injecting water into deep rock formations causes earthquakes, both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Geological Survey have concluded.

I don't believe that an injection well could cause a quake that
"was felt as far away as Michigan, Ontario, Pennsylvania and New York, reported Michael C. Hansen, state geologist and coordinator of the Ohio Seismic Network, part of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Division of Geological Survey."

From THIS, it looks like the quake was man-made.

Maybe that's what woke me up. A tremblor through the old ordovician bedrock next to the Appalacians. Or that I had to pee.

I feel much better now that I've stopped quaking.

A 4.0 quake just happened in Ohio near the Pennsylvania border.
Any mudcatters feel it?
