I live in Southwest Missouri near the Kansas / Oklahoma / Missouri state line. We had a weird thumping sounds go through our house. Had no idea what it was and am now wondering if it might have been from the quake.

Thumping like hollow thumps or something else?

Its kind of hard to explain it.. low rumbleing - dull thud might be a better description.

We all know what it sounds like if someone is knocking on one wall, and is easy to pinpoint where the sound came from. The sound seemed to be all over the house instead of just one wall. It also felt as if it was moving through the house. Almost like swimming in a lake and having a boat come by that created a decent size wake. When it reaches you you feel a push pull effect as the wave passes.

Ive never experienced an earthquake so it might be conicidental. I can say though ive never experienced what I am describing in this thread.

Hey guys...for those that don't 'know' me, I have been here on ATS for sometime now and don't just say things at random. I am feeling very......compelled right now to let those of you in the Oklahoma area know that you need to prepare.

I am NOT a doom and gloomer. Normally, when I post about quake related stuff, I have something to back up what I am saying. Here, I do not, other than a feeling. I began making comments about Oklahoma several weeks ago BEFORE you started having these quakes. I really feel something is coming and if you are not already prepared for a natural disaster.....please do so.

Prepare a 'bug out' bag and think about what you would do in a situation involving a large earthquake. Not trying to scare anyone, but just to urge you to be prepared.

I live in Southeastern MO, above the mines. Do you have any premonition about this area? Thank you in advance.

What mines do you guys have up there?

YOu can look it up. It's pretty neat. People come from all over the world to see it - Bonne Terre Mines.

Make that 5 this is odd for this area. This last one was a 3.3 an after shock I am sure but bigger than the previous 2 before it.

Looks like a low mag 5.8 quake hit Chile as well.

Funny thing, I have made a number of posts responding to the location of the recent earthquakes being unusual......Hope this series of quakes starts to open some eyes. Things are not right, don't care if it is HAARP, nibiru, or just pent up tectonic energy....There is something up, and it isn't just our collective debt crisis.

Well Westcoast you have certainly got me curious now.... I do not now you as one of those, "I have a feeling" types. Your "feelings"are usually based on something in factual. Can you expand on this "feeling" your talking about or what it is you said about this area in particular?

Very curious indeed.

Bigger earthquakes have happened in Oklahoma in the past..

earthquake.usgs.gov...

Its rare sure, but not biblical like some it out to be.

reply to post by ShogunAssassins


You are correct. Biblical by no means. Odd yes. Since we usually get tornados, it is a bit of a change of pace so to speak. And not the we have had 5 in one night. I am not quite alarmed, more intrigued by it.

reply to post by ShogunAssassins


I have never said it was biblical, did you actually read the first sentence of that article you posted?

The series of great earthquakes in the New Madrid, Missouri, region in 1811 - 1812, and a strong earthquake centered in Arkansas (October 22, 1881) were probably felt in the area that is now Oklahoma.

But you can't agree with me that something is up, considering it has been 200 years to the year since the last time the New Madrid has shaken? Just a coincidence.

Not to mention that the number of quakes for this region is so insignificant, I didn't even have to scroll down to read them all.....And the last one of note was more than forty years ago. If you happened to notice the history of these quakes, the after shocks occurred days apart from the initial, not within hours.

Did you read the rest of it? Theres been quite a few quakes in Oklahoma and the OKC region..

And 40 years is what when it comes to the life of the earth? You are thinking too small.

reply to post by ShogunAssassins


~sigh~....you asked if I read the article, which not only I said I did but used historical aftershock pattern to support an argument that this is very different from the quakes in the 50's and 60's. I understand you might not understand how debating works, but you should address points, i.e. 'it has been 200 years since the New Madrid has ...to the year'.....or after shocks in this region historically occur with an interval of days not minutes/hours. Please try to refrain from random general comments of dismissal and actually address a point.

reply to post by pointr97


As i said we have had larger quakes in the area in the recent past. (5.5 1952) And quite a few through history whos aftershocks came hours, weeks and days after.. If you look into it we have tons of earthquakes everyday just too small to notice.

That is just to funny, considering that was going to be my next response, that oklahoma has had 28 quakes in the last 6 months....Your link is recent data, not long term pattern. Please try again, because your link is supporting my argument that OK is more active than normal.



Try this one on

You should be able to see a pattern here, if not...I am very sorry

Hmm, what i would say funny is a guy going on a lot of half facts. I have looked into it quite a bit and even the influx since 09. Its still considered normal seismicity for Oklahoma. Have fun though lol..

reply to post by ShogunAssassins


Half facts? you haven't provided any facts except that one article, which contradicts your recent data post. If you have in fact looked into it, give me numbers.

I give you this from the june swarm

www.newson6.com...

If the OK GS is baffled, why should I assume you have more insightful analysis?

I had to add this quote, it seemed very interesting.....

'According to the Geological Survey, there were a total of six earthquakes in Oklahoma County from 2000 through 2008. The uptick began in 2009, when monitoring equipment recorded 31 earthquakes in the county. Over the ensuing 15 months -- January 2010 through March 2011 -- Holland says there were 850 earthquakes, just in Oklahoma County.'

Seems like that quote says it all.


And you need to read every word of that article....because they refute everything you have said.
