Drench Posts: 28631 Incept: 2009-11-10	By chance, is there some fracking going on around there? Just curious... 2011-11-05 11:03:52 Permalink

Euroskept Posts: 79 Incept: 2011-01-08	A bigger one just hit here in Tulsa, OK. 10:54 CST. Interested to find out how big this was. 2011-11-05 23:55:46 Permalink
Krs Posts: 708 Incept: 2009-05-07 Colleyville, Texas	Sitting on the couch watching a movie, felt it rockin, must be part of aftershocks here in North Texas. ---------- Fog, smoke, and mirrors... perhaps those tin-foil-hat wearing digital dickweeds were on to something?

Hoplophobia Posts: 386 Incept: 2010-10-28	I certainly felt it. Got under a nice solid doorway. Was in my rolling computer chair at the time that started to roll on me. My dog was looking around going "WTF?" 2011-11-06 01:06:33 Permalink

Widgeon Posts: 13481 Incept: 2007-08-30 Region formerly known as the United States	I felt that one last night - 10:50pm or so. I was asleep and it woke me up. 2011-11-06 06:25:54 Permalink
Landshark Posts: 11662 Incept: 2008-02-07 The Wild West	I live in north Texas and we woke up to the bed shaking and rattling. Mag 5.6, strongest in OK history. ---------- "America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed..." Eleanor Roosevelt 2011-11-06 09:03:39 From PDA Permalink

Tickergroupie Posts: 438 Incept: 2010-03-24	Wow. We _felt_ the 5.6 last night. It seemed we could also actually "hear" it. Drench, DH works in the oil & gas industry. He says Yes. 2011-11-06 10:07:46 Permalink
1lumpor2 Posts: 2649 Incept: 2011-05-01 Banned	Record 5.6 magnitude earthquake shakes Oklahoma The largest earthquake ever recorded in the state of Oklahoma struck Saturday night, officials said. The quake had a magnitude of 5.6, and its epicenter was four miles east of Sparks in Lincoln County, according to the Oklahoma Geological Survey. The quake hit at 10:53 p.m. http://newsok.com/record-5.6-magnitude-e.... ---------- -- Done Last modified: 2011-11-06 14:01:01 by 1lumpor2 2011-11-06 13:58:39 Permalink
Widgeon Posts: 13481 Incept: 2007-08-30 Region formerly known as the United States	FWIW, there is ALOT of fracking in that area ... just responding to the question w/ a fact, not drawing any relationships. 2011-11-06 15:05:44 Permalink
Dtlgc Posts: 939 Incept: 2007-11-26 Texas	Pretty sure I heard it last night - weird low humming type sound never heard before, didnt' feel anything though. Spoke with my dad, and he said my great grandmother was from that area as a child, and word of mouth stories said she was thrown to the ground from an earthquake in that area - so must have been pretty big. 2011-11-06 15:10:22 Permalink
Euroskept Posts: 79 Incept: 2011-01-08	Both of the bigger quakes made a thunder-esque sound as the shaking began. I've felt a couple of the aftershocks and they also made noise, but it wasn't as distinct; more like the humming Dtlgc mentioned. The quakes are coming from a known blind thrust fault, apparently. The USGS map doesn't list a fault in the area, but I believe it only lists visible faults. I think it's called the Seminole Structure. The Seminole Structure is a large oil field...

Uncleoxidant Posts: 2204 Incept: 2007-07-10 Stumptown	You gotta wonder if this is related to fracking. I recall reading something this past week about how a small earthquake in the UK had been traced to fracking... UK is another place where earthquakes are pretty much unheard of. ---------- I am not a consumer. I am a Citizen! 2011-11-06 18:52:57 Permalink
Asimov Posts: 104700 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time	Seriously doubt that big a quake was due to fracking. Possible? I guess, but it's decidedly unlikely. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity. If you trade based on what other people say, you will lose money.

Landshark Posts: 11662 Incept: 2008-02-07 The Wild West	There might be something to cracking... France has apparently banned due to earthquake risk. ---------- "America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed..." Eleanor Roosevelt 2011-11-06 19:43:02 From PDA Permalink
