EARTHQUAKE OKLAHOMA CITY AREA -- 4.3 per USGS

Good grief that spooked me good. Like others have described everyone says it felt like a car had run into there house. It was definitely a sudden concussive force, like an impact. I am more used to the rolling wave of the other EQ's we have had. This literally jarred me westward from my chair. Between Boston and this I will never get back to sleep.

that's because USGS are liars and information manipulators. Period.

Agreed, we felt nothing at the time of the Chandler quake but the other one sure got our attention. Not catastrophic by any means but enough to shake the nerves for a moment or two.

2 show up on GlobalIncident.

a 3.0 and a 4.3...

Within a couple miles of eachother.

The coordinates i was talking about are in relation to the 3.0.

This is just the land down under cascading into liquefied salt domes from the rising of the seas. Fracking does not help either.

Right, except for that area used to never get earthquakes until the fracking began. And fracking essentially is causing little earthquakes to extract natural gas.

Cause and effect isn't really that hard to figure out...

Yes. Fracking runs into shale's of salt, this salt dissolves and the land starts to cave in.

HOLY SHIT.

Would you like a cookie?

Same here.

Like the whole place just kind of went chug-chug-chug for a ride a few centimeters east to west.

Like going for a ride. And then the sort of whiplash in the solar plexus, like Oh shit! then the receding chug-chug-chug.

BAN EARTHQUAKES!

So can you explain why strange earthquakes have been happening in places where fracking has NOT been going on? Should we just overlook those quakes?

Odd. Am east of Arcadia and it felt to move north to south here, as well as a friend north of Waterloo on Midwest said it felt north to south as well.

About 20-30 seconds, started, built, subsided and peaked again. Heard the rumbling to the south of me for about 30-40 seconds after.

I went down into Oklahoma from Kansas on Sunday storm chasing.

Two seperate times: Once at 5:36pm and the other at 7:48pm within 50 miles of the EQ epicenter my ears rang like no other.

High frequency tone that was discomforting.


AMAZING

That sounds.....alarming to say the least....

Immense pressure I'm guessing??

three quakes now on usgs

That was a different quake about 15 minutes before this one

First was 4.3

Yep. The last was a 2.8 - different epicenters, too.

ahhhhhh this is getting scary!!

what next????

Waaaaaaaayyy to often anymore. And our local site has conveniently suffered 'computer failure' for the last several weeks.


I have a sneaking suspicion this was a foreshock.

Yes, they are called fault lines. I live on one right now.

My point is, before fracking no earthquakes. With Fracking - Earthquakes

Over 1,500 posts and it's the middle of the night

LOTS!!!!!!!!!

Was that an earthquake awhile ago cux that was scary

The problem here is that we have few/small fault lines that are relatively inactive.

This is a new (2 yrs) issue for Oklahoma and it is very unsettling.
