Big Earthquake Day Central OKlahoma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is what we had just in the past 12 hours. When you get above 4. it really shakes things up. BTW these were all within 8 miles of our home.

Fracking- has to crack you up!

Good luck with that- hope there is no structural damage.

Hope they stay small........I lived through the Northridge and Loma Prieta earthquakes in Calif.......lots damage and deaths.......billions of dollars in damage. Stay safe.

I was up and felt the 3.5 at 11:29, from 14 miles away. Went to bed and slept through the rest of them.

We have a friend that lives on Pine, about a mile from the 4.2, said "the one just after Midnight almost threw me out of bed -- lots of things fell off the shelves but nothing broken - scary, though".

Yikes, that's a lot all at once. Hope you guys have earthquake insurance. Depending on soil types even a small once can really shake things

Scientists have been predicting for years that the New Madrid fault line will produce massive quakes and volcanoes in central US some time in the future. Enough to destroy much, if not all of the US.

Sleep tight tonite!

Lot's of little ones, keeps you from having a BIG one, so be glad you are having them...

I lived in Alaska 25 years, we had thousands of those little ones...

The one that woke me up was (according to my Cable box) was 12:11 am. The second one was just before 6:00 am. The last one was weird; it was quick, sharp and over in a split second.

Op here: My wife lived in Northridge thru the big one. She basically has PTSD over these quakes. It brings back to many bad memories for her. Her apartment was condemned and she was laid off from work while her retail job at the mall was being examined for structural stability. We both are long term okies, she moved out to Cali after she graduated from HS, after that quake she moved back. I never experienced a quake until 4 or 5 years ago, then bam!!! We have tons of quakes all the time. It is rare that we go for over a week with out having one 3.5 or so and up.
These quakes are not big in general, but the long term damage to the house is BAD. We have lots of sheetrock cracks and masonry cracks.
I am a very conservative thinking person, and really conflicted on how I feel about these quakes. For the longest time, the official line, was that these quakes had nothing to do with fracking/waste water injection. This has all changed in the last 6 months or so. OSU has released some studies that are now putting the blame on the waste water injection. I understand that the owners of the mineral rights, want to earn as much as they can, but we really need some guide lines to keep this vault stable.
This is a very difficult thing to accomplish in a state that is owned by the energy companies.
BTW, I do have quake insurance

3.5 or less is like having some bad "gas". Once it's released.....all is well!!!!:thumbsup:
