When drilling for natural gas and Oil both the Oil company and the Drilling company know of fault line probably better then USGS . The company’s does not want to cause a major quake they do many surveys before even attempting to drill in an area .Many company’s have learned a small pocket of gas or oil isn’t worth a major loss of property .they actually learn a lesson from deep water Horizion .while it’s easy to point finger and say it’s big Oil if you read the article it is a natural fault line not as big as some of the more famous ones but still a faulty line .

Looking back, it may well be the one that occurred on 24 October 1997. I remember that very well, and that would be about the time of day it occurred, too.

I remember back in ‘97 or ‘98 there was one in Atmore. I think they still claim it was not an earthquake, but I don’t know what else would wake me up in the middle of the night and cause dishes to fall out of my cabinets!

Would be interesting to compare the quakes locations to the local oil and gas fields. Seems odd the closer the fields get to being dry the more quakes we seem to experience.

I remember the bigger one back in 1997, it wasn’t a shaking like you see on tv, but rather a sliding side to side feeling. It was definitely a weird experience.
