Yeah, my daughter came out of her room with eyes wide and said "Are they supposed to last this long?".
My fridge was rocking but it's OK, the beer was undamaged.

Around here, if it's shallow, it does a LOT more damage! anything under 10K is shallow for us, but I know things are NOT as deep in OK. Good nobody is hurt, and the beer survived.

Morning, Ray!
Yes, it's getting kinda funny, now.
I've been watching Fox23 news since the quake this morning.
Now they're showing cracks in walls, driveways, foundations, but most look like cracks from 20 years ago on old houses...
The weatherman cracked me up... Said that when the quake occurred, "the birds all took off, and they could see them on radar." In fact, let's look at that radar again..."
We cracked up... (Pun intended...)
There's a 150 yr. old abandoned building on main st in Pawnee that a pile of rock fell from out in the street, and saw one house where some of the rock fell off.
The governor's been alerted, and will survey the damage, reporters say.
Corps of Engineers coming to check the dams.
One grocery store in Pawnee had lots of stuff in the aisles that fell from shelves...
Yep, it's been exciting in sleepy Ok this morning!
They say there's been 4 aftershocks so far... largest was a 3.6.
It's just gotten kind of funny though, watching the over reaction in the reporting.
They're now showing a seismograph from near Chicago that registered it. Also hear it was felt as far as Tennessee.Last edited by XJOK2PLAY; 09-03-2016, 08:43 AM.'82 XJ1100J Maxim (has been sold.)

Sorry for you guys. Just one more consequence of being Fracked next thing you know it will be a water issue like they keep having in Wet Virginia.To fix the problem one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.

I said, "Californiacs have got to be rolling their eyes at our news reporters this morning." "Earthquake? Only a 5.6? That's not an earthquake..."
The initial boom was quite a jolt, though!'82 XJ1100J Maxim (has been sold.)

Maximan is a geologist and says fracking has nothing to do with it. Oklahoma sits on a fault like California but not as big.Originally posted by ViperRon View Post
Oklahoma has been having earthquakes since before man ever inhabited earth. Why do people want to always blame someone for natural occurrences.
Who do they blame the quakes from before man on, the dinosaurs (which will eventually become the oil) for stomping too hard?
