Interesting.
Where were you location wise when you felt it? If you don’t mind saying

Red river parish. We are close to the epicenter of them. Some of the ones under 2.5 magnitude aren't being recorded. But if they are that close, you feel them all. According to the earthquake website, we officially had 7 since Jan 8th. But we had a lot more than that. We had five today but only two are official. The small ones are very quick but get your attention. The 3.5 mag. Had you swaying for a couple of seconds.

Was in Red River Parish today visiting and felt it. Shook the brick house and rattled pictures on the walls. Scared the shite out of us, but the locals didn’t blink because they knew what it was. They did say it was the strongest one so far.
Someone called and reported that their neighbors in a modular home had pictures fall off the walls.

I swore I felt one at about 10pm last night in Shreveport. I checked the USGS site about an hour later but nothing had registered.

On the map below earthquakes usually follow along the border with the brown and purple/ blue areas. So North Louisiana can get some earthquakes and not necessarily due to fracking. Likely due to being active along that part of the craton border.

Well according to some it was my 85 year old mom falling of her chair and comments like that. Poor old woman only weighs 125 pounds. I show her all the jokes and she laughs. Poor old thing has had a tough life. I tell her a joke a day to keep her young
My sil lives down the road and her son was visiting. He is a baw and didn't believe her. Then only a 2.7 mag hit and she ask him if he believes her now? He just holy shite that felt strong. He he works in oil rigs down south. I hate to think what my foundation looks like now. Iam not rich like some claim to be, but I like my little country house. It's quiet here, no crime and great neighbors.

Yellowstone is probably getting ready to blow!

I keep all that info from my mom. Everytime they mention that she is all doom and gloom. I just tell her to get some popcorn out and enjoy the visuals.

A lot of factors go into how an earthquake “feels”. The type of faults involved (strike/slip, normal, reverse), soil conditions, and how deep the quake is located in the crust (hypocenter). Also remember that the quake scale is logarithmic, so a 4.0 is 10 times what a 3.0 is.

I never heard of any earthquake in Louisiana except for my buddy's wife who we call "Earthquake". She's kinda big. And by "big" I mean "fat".

I remember a lot of that from school. The one last week didn't feel like a 2.8 but more over 3 because it was intense. But wouldn't you think 10 or more quakes, even though they are small, raise concerns?
I could understand it if we are in the ring of fire. Cali, Alaska, Japan, Hawaii and Chile get nailed like every day. But this is weird.

Did you grow up there or move in later? I drank a lot of beer there years back.

Moved here. Was raised in West Shreveport, and it wasn't bad at that time. Then when crime and drive bys got really bad, got the hell out of dodge. The commute for work sucked but I have grown to really love it here. People hold the door for each other no matter what race. People ready to help out if there is a tree down and not want money for helping. We usually bake them something anyway. Love sitting out in the porch at night and listen to the coyotes howl. Never had anybody try to steel from me or break in my cars. It can get boring at times and that's a good thing. No drama.

Not sure how accurate that map is because we had a 6.0 earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico in 2006.

There is a fault that starts @ north-central Red River parish and runs southwest into De Soto parish. That's probably where the quakes are generating from. There are also several faults in Caddo and Bossier parishes.

I think somebody mentioned this earlier. Makes sense.

The fluid that is injected at depth is sometimes hydraulically connected to faults. When this happens, fluid pressures increase within the fault, counteracting the frictional forces on faults. This makes earthquakes more likely to occur on them.
