    I'm about 30-40 miles northeast of Euless and I sure didn't feel anything. They had another small quake around the Euless area a year or two ago, didn't they?

    I have some friends at Six Flags in Arlington and they didn't mention anything, but they did get there after the quake apparently happened.

    You're right. I didn't realize it was just a few months ago. I just looked and it was on October 31st/November 1st and it was in the same general area (Grand Prairie/Irving) - the strongest of the quakes/tremors that happened then was also around 3.0 from what I'm seeing.

    Hmm... maybe I should move. lol.

    Not to jump to defend anybody, but Clutch does. He had a sticky about political sigs on the forums for about 3 months.

    You'd think a long timer would respect the rules.

    What is political about it -- bigrexxx inferred that behad was lazy. Behad devised a handy calculator to prove that bigrexxx was wrong and in fact much lazier.

    Behad dropped the science -- bigrexxx dropped the ball.



    Note: preemptive thoughts dominated post/ etc.

    Geez, I always thought that posting on ClutchFans was industrious...
    another alternate theory of mine is that the minor quake being felt in the Dallas area was actually the mavs practicing flopping... but oh their season is over isn't it?
