Could it be the Californian's brought the earthquakes with them as well as their politics?

[@cattleheart]

Nah, it's fracking.

[@christianangel2421]

They’re only bringing there parasitical societal mindset

[@IAmForDonaldTrump]

Yes I Am Pretty Sure California Brought It With Them

[@karenschmidtke8129]

Midland is NOT near Austin. But okay.

[@KB-ke3fi]

They said it was "FELT" in Austin.

[@Griswald1968]

Near Austin? Midland is hours away

[@Texasishot105]

I felt it in Del Valle... my couch wiggled, and it startled my little dog. ❤

[@annwitzel9630]

I was in the State Capital , I thought it was going to crumble , went outside and noticed my car had shifted two feet to the left .

[@randallriley]

Absolutely did feel it here in North Austin. I even went online immediately and didn't see any info so I just assumed my blood pressure meds were going a little heavy. LOL

[@gvz7076]

Hi, USGS updates often regarding earthquakes.

[@randallriley]

@@gvz7076 True but no update was present when I looked immediately after the event.

[@Texasishot105]

​@@randallriley I found it about 6 mins after on Google

[@benanglin1458]

It’s the only thing that’s ever happened in Midland.

[@Jewels0007]

I felt sick near the Panhandle

[@sinner-saint361]

Nobody gonna talk about the fact that this is earthquake number 7 or so in the last couple of months.? Or that the locations just so happen to be where they are doing the most drilling or fracking.? Hmmm, i wonder if it could be related? That's sarcastic fyi.

[@Chromatic145]

Fracking doesn't cause earthquakes

[@KB-ke3fi]
