The New Excuse being used:

"Oklahoma has seen a steep rise in the frequency of earthquakes in the area, according to a joint statement by both USGS and OGS. Residents have experienced more than 200 measuring at least a magnitude 3.0 since the beginning of 2009.

Holland said the USGS and OGS are conducting joint research on the increase in the frequency of earthquakes in the area.

It is not clear if the quakes are being triggered by human activity or are occurring naturally, Holland said, although he said suggested changes to lake levels may be involved."

Ridiculous. Ya okay buddy! The sad part is that there are people who will believe this crap!

So were the booms before or after the quake?

The article isn't specific with dates/times of reported booms being heard so there's no way to tell.

Ok, thanks. Is there a theory how they are related?

And we have glp'ers who heard them, right?

A question for you, please, Bending Light --

Correct me if I am wrong, but your primary focus and area of concern has been the New Madrid, right? However, according to the following excerpt from the above link (my italics):

This map covers Feb, 15 2013 to Feb, 15 2014 with 565 Earthquakes from mag 2.0 and up. If I included the mag 1.0 and up, it was a staggering 785. As you can see by the map, Oklahoma has taken the lead by a large margin of earthquakes from southern Kansas right down into Texas in comparison to the New Madrid Seismic Zone. You will see a large increase starting around 2008 to 2009. The average number before this transition period was about 10 per year. We have increased more than 55 times in the amount of earthquakes in this area in the last 26 years.

So, in your opinion (for which I have GREAT respect), are the Oklahoma quakes related in any way to what is going on further east, or are they completely unrelated and due to fracking or something else?

And, as always, THANKS!!
