Seven of the eight quakes had an epicenter near Ohio Works Drive.

It only goes to figure that injecting brine into the ground with enough force to fracture solid rock would
cause tremors - however slight they may be.

Questions

Is earthquake damage covered by homeowners insurance?

If it is, shouldn't we expect the premiums to go up because we now have a track record of having more earthquakes in the city of Youngstown?

Call me naive, but I think premiums should only go up if these quakes cause damage.

When was the last time we had an earthquake here in Youngstown before the latest rash? I can't remember any that had Mahoning County as the epacenter here.

After one of the earthquakes a few month ago, a TV news story reported that a house in McDonald had a damaged exterior brick wall.

I'm yet to feel one of these quakes. The train running through here rattles the windows, but no quakes.........

HAGEN WANTS HIS DISTRICT IN PROPETUAL POVERTY!

Hagan backs drilling halt

You can bet your bottom dollar that Hagen would run, not walk to any and all new businesses that would move here with a grin on his face, the glad hand out, and a speech in his pocket, patting the owners on the back while trying to take the credit for them coming here.

Is it true that after his term is up he'll be working at the Lemon Grove as a waiter, when he's not driving his train down the tracks hauling gas pipes from the mill?
