Don Deville lives near the epicenter of the earthquakes in Hermleigh on Highway 180. The 69-year-old, who first worked as a police officer before working with the railroad for 37 years, put his investigative skills to work.

He mapped out oil and saltwater disposal wells near his and his wife's 155-acre property. Deville also compared seismic activity between May-June and July 15-30 this year. He found that 2024 trounced the previous year.

"This is a man-made problem. This problem is made by the greed of men. I'm thoroughly convinced of that," Deville said.

The RRC said the disposal wells inject mineralized water produced by oil and gas into the designated areas into the ground. But Deville suspects maybe too much is being put in. That's what investigators are trying to determine because of more than 100 earthquakes in two weeks.

5. Dear CBS...

... the phrase is HOME in on whatever the fuck. You HONE a knife. You HOME in on something, as does a HOMING pigeon, or a HOMING device, or a guided missile. Or is English a second language for you?
If words are how you make your living, it is incumbent on you to use the RIGHT words to describe something.
It shouldn't be necessary to explain this to an adult.
