Anger Greets State Officials in Quake-Prone Texas Town

[white cloud]

Azle, Texas - “I’ve got a crack in my hallway,” chuckled Marion LeBert as he stood in the parking lot of Azle High School.

“Oh my!” commiserated Tracy Napier. “We have sink holes in our yard. And they’ve gotten bigger since these earthquakes.”

The two were among hundreds of townspeople hoping to get answers at a meeting hosted last night by the Railroad Commission of Texas, the state’s oil and gas industry regulators. The area, in Parker and Tarrant counties, didn’t experience earthquakes until recently. Now, it’s seen a swarm of over twenty minor ones in the last two months, troubling residents and causing damage to some homes. The earthquakes would be the topic of discussion.

1. Why was Marion LeBert chuckling over the crack in his hallway?

The sink holes are probably real laughers.

2. It will not be so funny when the joists in the attic pull away from one another and the house

separates.

3. Well, it's certainly not because of fracking!

Gotta be moles. Really big moles.

4. To bad Drunkard Joe Barton was not there

He could have told the citzens that "It is a travesty to blame big oil"

Or rick perry could have told them it was "an act of God".

they will just have be happy with TCQE AND TRRC customary reply of "It has never been proven to be the fault of our money bag freinds in the oil industry"

5. I HOPE this will be the straw that breaks this freaking pipeline's back!

DFW has become a festering pit. Arlington will be the next place to sink after Azle.
