We just had an earthquake that they are saying was a 3.1. It squared the crap out of me and I've felt the ones that were in the 5's. it's opening up folks, get ready

Btw it was loud. Sounded like a plane had crashed in our backyard

about half an hour ago, we got a 3.1 BOOM

never though OK had so much s-s-s-shakin' going on

I'm waiting for a sinkhole or a rip to occur

These booms are probably caused by the bedrock breaking during the constant quake action. It's fracking.

item today. The USGS reports a 2.5 magnitude quake at 2:21 a.m. Saturday about 7 miles southwest of Guthrie and a 2.9 magnitude quake at 8:06 a.m. Saturday about 4 miles northeast of Stillwater.

Geologists say earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3.0 are general the smallest that are felt by humans and that damage is not generally seen from quakes below magnitude. 4.0.

No injuries or damage are reported.

I know everyone says that, but not all of these are the underground explosion of a fracking operation.

I feel there is a collapsing taking place of drained out oil fields, water tables . . . in combination with this. Also the fracking has perforated holes along the North American Craton plate and that just adds to the man-made environmental disaster happening here & now.

just saying "it's fracking" is misleading

also check the solar action, when we get hit (Earth) with coronal mass ejections and the magnetoshere is pressured, the weak crust wobbles with the pressure and we get EQs.

It is a lot of everything contributing.

I am in OK and 3 EQs actually happened. I never saw the one from 10 a.m. this morning make any of the sites. The one this morning was typical, the one within the past hour was a little harder jolt. I would say it depends on where you are and what you are doing whether you feel the slighter ones or not. I would not say these 3 today were slight, but on the volume rising side. Almost feels like pre-cursor.

Thread: Need an Earthquake Person - WTH is Going on with EQ's in Oklahoma??

It's the hideouth month-tahh comming out of the closet

Be safe

I've had two dreams recently, both involving nationally devastating earthquakes. No coincidence.

it's the thawing. All the water gushing down the aquifers.

Proof enough for me then

I swear my family has been feeling light shaking in SC today. I don't see anything reported anywhere though. So we're either all crazy (totally possible), or something weird is up.

Another earthquake just then. This is beyond a joke now.

Terrifying?
How is it people actually respect this joke of a circus called the news.

They're all pretty shallow!

:sellers26:

Hmmmm...Maybe check the beta's site, but with a Z instead of the b.

Who really knows!

Boomer Sooners!

As someone already mentioned the word terrifying is a bit strong. There is no hysteria here. They are all just like the
USGS shows for the most part, small and shallow. They tend to have more of a jolt feeling to them like your entire house was jerked in one direction a few inches and then abruptly stopped. There are those and a wobbling feeling that occurs before and after sometimes. They tend to actually rumble and shake less and less, for me at least.

I see now how the Californians say you get used to them. You just here a big deep growl in the distance and grab your drink or whatever and wait a few seconds to see how big it is going to be and then go on.

No one here is panicking though. We are used to giant tornadoes and softball size hail remember? This is just another day in the life over here.

I dont know what is causing them, fracking is definitely a culprit and obscene amounts of money are made from fracking operations here, so you would expect some resistance in blaming in on that.

You have to consider the all the other strange earthquake activity as well though. even it is less abundant than here in Oklahoma. We have been preparing for the worst the same way we do for tornadoes. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. That's how we do it. Just wanted to check in and clear up the fear mongering angle the media is spinning.
