Two questions, how big was it, and do they frack there?

sunshine45 · ‎03-09-2010

3.2 magnitude, hopefully very little, if any damage.

i am sure if your husband felt it it made him nervous! hope everything is okay @YorkieonmyPillow.

@Plaid Pants2 I'm not sure about fracking but I live here in North Central WV and I do know that the southern part of WV is big coal business. When I visited there about 12 years ago for Little League Baseball tournaments, it was still controlled by big coal businesses. They seemed to control a lot down there from my observations and talking to people while down there.

3.2 is very smsll, everything should be ok. The concern is if it's fracking.

@Mj12 Apparently it was a 3.2 earthquake - my DH said it sounded like a tree fell on the house - his neighbor ran out in the yard, thinking the same thing - it was MONROE county.

@Noel7 Yes he is fine, thank God - thank you for asking.

They aren't fracking in that immediate area that I know of.
