By the way, on Dutch's FB page he linked to a video regarding the Illinois quake earlier today (I didn't bother, don't have the patience or the time tonight). The text of his post implied it was a fracking-induced quake. He said there is a fracking operation right there. I don't doubt that, as he seems to have all of them pinpointed on a map. But what I don't get is how he can be so sure it was from fracking when the epicenter is smack on the Wabash Valley fault? Not to mention right next to where it meets up with the New Madrid Seismic Zone? I think he has a lot of knowledge but it bugs me when he immediately cites any quake as fracking when in a case such as that it very well may not be.

I realize that quake was small potatoes and insignificant looking at what happened in Mexico today, but I saw that FB post and thought I would share.
 Quoting: KickinIt


Thanks for the info and good post. That quake may be small potatoes when comparing to Mexico, but for Illinois...that was kind of a big deal. I lean more towards the natural cause here. Not fracking. Based on recent activity all over the New Madrid lately.

I also lean towards natural causes. Based on location, and the fact that that fault is overdue for activity. Plus, they had some smaller ones in that same area in recent months:

PEOPLE “IF” THE SCALE CONTINUED TO A LARGER VALUE/SCALE MARIA WOULD ALREADY BE A CAT 7
HERE IS HOW THE SCALE PROGRESS AND YES IT STOPS AT 5 BUT OF COURSE THAT IS NOT REALITY...
NATURE BATS LAST! NOT SOME HUMAN SCALE THAT STOPS AT SOME PREDETERMINED POINT.

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed. This scale estimates potential property damage. Hurricanes reaching Category 3 and higher are considered major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage. Category 1 and 2 storms are still dangerous, however, and require preventative measures. In the western North Pacific, the term "super typhoon" is used for tropical cyclones with sustained winds exceeding 150 mph.


Category

Sustained Winds

Types of Damage Due to Hurricane Winds


1 74-95 mph
64-82 kt
119-153 km/h Very dangerous winds will produce some damage: Well-constructed frame homes could have damage to roof, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters. Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days.
2 96-110 mph
83-95 kt
154-177 km/h Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage: Well-constructed frame homes could sustain major roof and siding damage. Many shallowly rooted trees will be snapped or uprooted and block numerous roads. Near-total power loss is expected with outages that could last from several days to weeks.
3
(major) 111-129 mph
96-112 kt
178-208 km/h Devastating damage will occur: Well-built framed homes may incur major damage or removal of roof decking and gable ends. Many trees will be snapped or uprooted, blocking numerous roads. Electricity and water will be unavailable for several days to weeks after the storm passes.
4
(major) 130-156 mph
113-136 kt
209-251 km/h Catastrophic damage will occur: Well-built framed homes can sustain severe damage with loss of most of the roof structure and/or some exterior walls. Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.
5
(major) 157 mph or higher
137 kt or higher
252 km/h or higher Catastrophic damage will occur: A high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.
