You know it sounds far fetched but there have been earthquakes reported coming from there. Magnitude 5.3 COLORADO August 23, 2011 Magnitude 4.6 COLORADO August 22, 2011 earthquake.usgs.gov and this is from the government of Canada's website Can people cause earthquakes? Yes! Minor earthquakes have been triggered by human activities such as mining (rockbursts and cavity collapse), the filling of reservoirs behind large dams, and the injection of fluids into wells for oil recovery or waste disposal. Large dams hold back enormous quantities of water. Some of this water may penetrate into cracks in the underlying rock, and sometimes this may trigger small earthquakes under or very near the reservoir. Following an underground nuclear explosion, small earthquakes have often been recorded near the test site. These are due to the collapse of the cavity created by the explosion. Man-made earthquakes always occur close to the site of the activity. There is no link between human activities like these and earthquakes occurring hundreds or thousands of kilometres away. earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca
