Ever since moving here there have been too many times to count where I feel a faint tremor. A split second shake that i am keenly aware. Does anyone else feel this sensation when sitting quietly reading or in bed. Or wherever. I know I'm not crazy. Could it be seismic activity from fracking? Weird sensation. 4951

When I feel that it's usually because a toy came on unexpectedly. 4951

I have lived here 20 years and have never felt a tremor.  Maybe you should have yourself checked out by a doctor.  If it ends up there is a problem then at least you will have caught it early.   4951

@swaggyg actually yes, I've had a Mir on my brain in 07, I was experiencing enteral shaking and tremors in my brain. Interestingly, it is a common complaint for women in para menopause. Many dis ribbed it as brain zaps. It lasted for 5 years, but seized after my hysterectomy. My Brain scan was normal....done with dye!  4951

Why in the world would your first thought be fracking?  that's kind of a far out there conclusion...not small earthquake...large company turned on equipment....utility company working on something on next street over....I do believe it's you...MRI time-Good luck 4951

Well, @texanschick I've actually read where fracking can change the plates and could cause seismic activity! That's why!Fluid injection is a controversial tactic tied to hydraulic fracturing, the drilling technique known as "fracking" that has dramatically increased U.S. oil and gas production. When oil and gas is pumped out of the ground, salty water often flows out with it. This water is typically injected back under high pressure into disposal wells -- a practice that the geological agency has said can induce earthquakes. Related: Fracking now makes up half of U.S. oil productionDespite environmental concerns over contaminated water and earthquakes, fracking activity has skyrocketed. The U.S. had 300,000 fracking wells last year, up from just 23,000 in 2000, according to the Energy Information Administration. Seismic activity is also on the rise in certain energy-intensive states after a relatively stable period of about 30 years. Earthquake rates have "recently increased markedly" in multiple areas of the Central and Eastern U.S., especially since 2010, the report said. Its 2014 model of seismic risks did not consider man-made quakes. The agency said several damaging quakes have occurred recently near injection wells. For instance, a magnitude 5.6-earthquake caused minor injuries and damage to homes in 2011 near Prague, Oklahoma. Other tremors in these fracking regions include a 5.3-magnitude quake near Trinidad, Colorado in 2011 and a 4.8-magnitude quake near Timpson, Texas in 2012. Oklahoma City and the surrounding region face a 5% to 12% chance of damage from an earthquake in 2016, the report said. That is higher than virtually anywhere else in the mainland U.S. other than parts of California that are estimated to face the same risk -- but only for natural reasons. 4951

@cgm10sne1:  I really think you need to have another MRI.  You have had tremors before.  Have yourself checked out!  I really do not think it is fracking!

considering they aren't fracking in this area I would say that is a far fetched line of reasoning. 4951

I thought it was farting causing "tremors". Remember you live next to a airport fly by landings cause the house to shake. 4951

07' was nine years ago.  Wouldn't hurt to check esp before you go far away. 4951

I think we all understand what fracking is. The problem is there is no intensive fracking in proximity to Houston, Texas. There are a few small active faults in Harris County (issues with one in The Woodlands a while back), but none that have generated significant seismic activity, just property damage. We do have a few conventional oil fields around, but they are depleted or nearly depleted, with no recent drilling activity.  4951

@rugburn:
 
Water treatment places do injection wells for waste... that typically doesn't make headlines though. 4951

Sure they do, so exactly where in Houston, Tx is that going on? 4951
