[QUOTE="RickN, post: 2356689, member: 8854"] Have you guys heard what the USGS is saying has caused all these quakes the last few years? I read a piece awhile back somewhere that it is being caused by the changes in levels of the lakes, ponds, etc. When we were going through the drought the lakes were getting low or going dry so there was much less weight pushing on the ground and it expanded causing quakes. Now that we have had all the rain this year, the weight is back pushing down and causing more quakes. The piece said that is why most of our quakes have been located close to lakes. They also said it can take 6 months or more for the weight changes to cause a quake. Just one of those useless things I run across. [/QUOTE]
