Seismic Crew Working At Arlington's Veterans Park |
I have felt none of the Oklahoma shakers, but I did come upon some seismic activity in Arlington today at Veterans Park.
Barnett Shale seismic testers have laid out wire and equipment all over Veterans Park.

How is permission granted to allow wires and equipment to be laid all over a public park? I wondered this years ago at Arlington's River Legacy Park when I had a seismic tester encounter on the mountain bike trail, with the tester going the wrong way on the bike trail on an off-road motorized vehicle. It was dangerous.

And now there are wires on the ground all over Veterans Park.
Today Veterans Park was extra busy due to some sort of Disc Golf event going on. There were Disc Golf holes in locations I don't remember seeing them before. For instance there was a large group of people around the Veterans Park Turtle Pond watching disc golfers throw their disc at a target on the other side of the pond.
Seismic Testing Equipment & Wire Littering Veterans Park |
If someone trips on one of the seismic tripwires and breaks a leg, who's is liable for the injury? The city? Or the seismic testers?
If the seismic testers decide there is some exploitable Barnett Shale under Veterans Park, where will the drill pad site be located?

Or that some well meaning citizen doesn't decide the wire and equipment is littering the park and then gathers it up and toss it in the nearest dumpster.
Very perplexing. I wonder if the earth will move here tonight?

I live next to Veterans Park in Arlington. My apartment building sits on a steep hillside and I am on the 2nd floor which is equivalent to the 3rd floor on the backside of my building. I have noticed that our parking lot is getting worse and worse in the past mnth, almost like you need 4 wheel drive. In my bedroom there is a slope from one end to the other and I have now realized a indention in the floorboard under my carpet. Is it possible this is a result of the drilling? I have seen alot of those devices around my neighborhood. When I arrived home this evening I also found a note on my door from the Apartment office letting everyone know that all the apartments will be inspected for generic reasons, like condition of appliances and carpet etc. Sounds a little suspicious to me.I am actually getting a little scared as I hear all these things going on.
