| Texas/Southwest: "The earth moved here on June 2. It was the first recorded earthquake in this Texas town's 140-year history — but not the last.
There have been four small earthquakes since, none with a magnitude greater than 2.8. The most recent ones came Tuesday night, just as the City Council was meeting in an emergency session to discuss what to do about the ground moving.
The council's solution was to hire a geology consultant to try to answer the question on everyone's mind: Is natural gas drilling — which began in earnest here in 2001 and has brought great prosperity to Cleburne and other towns across North Texas — causing the quakes?"

Amazing...
I don't believe there are any gas wells on the west coast. Perhaps those quakes were just events that happen on the way to the demise of the earth?
Earth quakes have more to do with the people on top of the planet than on the gas within the planet. Just a thought...
Shucks, I was hoping this had something to do with you and Paris Hilton.
