They weren't an anti-fracking family. They had no wells on their land. In fact for the longest time they, their doctors and numerous specialists had no idea what was causing their continual symptoms....and then the pieces began to fall into place.

$3 Million? More like this, please. Here’s some background on the suit, from Natural Gas Intelligence:
In a first-of-its-kind hydraulic fracturing (fracking) nuisance lawsuit, a Dallas Jury Tuesday awarded a North Texas family $2.95 million for physical and mental pain as well as loss of property value due to activities by Barnett Shale producer Aruba Petroleum Inc.
Plaintiffs Robert and Lisa Parr had sought $9 million in damages and alleged that 22 wells operated by Plano, TX-based Aruba within two miles of their land, about 15 miles west of Denton, TX, exposed them to toxic gases and industrial waste. The Parrs said they were forced from their home at certain times and had to live in Robert Parr’s office.
