Why are earthquakes shaking Texas? SMU professor explains sudden seismic spike

Why are earthquakes shaking Texas? Professor explains
Last Friday an earthquake centered west of Abilene was measured at magnitude 5.1 and was felt as far away as downtown Dallas. Earthquakes of that magnitude are very rare in the Lone Star State, but smaller magnitude 3’s and 4’s have become common over the last 15 years in North Texas. Mike Iscovitz asked Dr. Brian Stump, seismologist and geoscientist from Southern Methodist University, what was causing all the shaking and if it’s anything for us to worry about.
Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Hazy, hot & humid weather will remain in place this week as high pressure takes hold and a plume of Saharan dust moves in. We should notice a browning tinge to the sky by this afternoon and it will be more noticeable Wednesday. Mornings will be warm and humid with afternoons running at or slightly above average for the rest of the week. In the tropics, there is a broad area of low pressure in the Atlantic Ocean that is moving in the general direction of Puerto Rico and will get closer to Florida late this week as a slowly developing system. From there, it's just too early to tell. Models are not lining up well on strengthening or location, so anywhere from the Gulf Coast to the Carolinas will keep an eye on this tropical wave this week.

FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast: Heat building back in
This week will look much different than last week. Rain chances are low and temperatures will be warmer. Afternoon highs will start in the mid 90s but climb to the upper 90s for the end of the week. If you see any rain, it will come from an isolated pop up afternoon storm. Look for haze in the sky starting on Tuesday as a round of Saharan dusts moves into southeast Texas. This will probably be the thickest plume Houston has seen so far this summer.

Rain chances are lower, but heat and humidity are soaring! Expect highs in the mid-90s with heat index values over 105.
Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Rain chances are down and humidity is way, way up! It's going to be a sweltering week with highs in the mid 90s, but heat index values of at least 105 and probably higher at times. As far as rain, there is a chance for a couple of storms this afternoon with lower chances by mid-week. We should notice a haze in the sky tomorrow and Wednesday with a plume of Saharan dust moving in, and it's probably the thickest of the summer so far. Otherwise, with low pressure moving out and high pressure taking hold this week, expect a super steamy week. In the tropics, there is a poorly defined tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic that has a chance of becoming a tropical depression later this week. It is very far from Texas and, so far, doesn't look like a big deal. It's a reminder that tropical activity is going to pick up big time over the next few weeks.
