Small quake shakes Dallas area, stirring fracking critics

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A light earthquake shook the Dallas-Ft. Worth area of North Texas on Saturday night, leaving no known damage or casualties but stirring concern about the potential of the area's oil and gas fracking industry to generate seismic activity.

The magnitude 3.3 earthquake struck about 9:15 p.m. Central time Saturday, said Dale Grant, an geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
