The top local stories this afternoon from KERA News: Cataracts are debilitating but easy to treat. The problem is, surgery is expensive, especially for the uninsured and underinsured. A free clinic in Fort Worth is trying to bridge that gap for folks who might otherwise go blind and have to quit working.

Other stories this afternoon: A new report sheds some light on what’s been causing North Texas earthquakes, not just over the past few years, but for almost a century.

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:22 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
