4.7 In Oklahoma.. Odd to anyone else?

2000-2008(96months)=6

1 quake every 16 months.

2010-2011(15 months)=850

1 quake every 12 hours(using an average of 30 days per month).

do I even need to do the percentage of increase from 2000 to 2011? Or have we got the picture?

there is a lot of frakking going on,wonder if that has anything to do with the quakes.
something I think is noteworthy:
I usually leave to start running patients around 03:30 and today the sky,yeah it's dark out ,had a strange orange/red tint to it,lot of the red dirt getting kicked up by the quake?
not very many animals out this morning either,usually see a lot of deer and miscellaneous small critters (skunks,possums and the like) today not even a stray cat well I did catch glimpse of a fox in town but that is it not even a damn cat or dog anywhere from Shawnee to Holdenville and back
hwy 3,9,270,59 and 56 devoid of any animal activity which is completely out of the norm.
Meh,I am over thinking this ,I don't know, but there is a weird air about today.

You do know that in 2010 more equiptment was added in the area for study so we could see these small quakes, right?

And i would think you should read it..

"At the moment, I definitely-- my gut is saying this is naturally occurring seismicity within the region," Holland posited.

If we really understood earthquakes we could predict them.. Just because they dont know the cause of the stress doesnt make this a mystery really..

Just Sayin'
If you look at our place (The U.S.) on the ring of fire , I think we've been pretty lucky and the quietest part overall .
THAT is what worries me , personally. If anyone has an explanation I would definitely love to hear it because I feel like we're on borrowed time.

The Earth will do what she's going to do with or without us on it and I understand that

You almost have it, but the explinatin part..

When it comes to the plates the earth is going to do what its going to do.. And anywhere with fault activity will at some point and time have a big quake.. Right now, all we can do is wait XD lol

The amount of drilling done in this area, is staggering. the use of Fracking the ground is more than likely the culprit to this. This is not good, because I live in this area, and it is still not understood very well, how fracking the ground is effecting the earth. Before the use of fracking, I cant remember a report of any earthquakes this far west of the new madrid fault. whats next, a full blown 9.0 on the New madrid fault, or the newly discovered Ancient fault lines running through Arkansas. Not good

The fracking issue is in Arkansas. They found another fault line that is not part of the New Madrid line northeast of Little Rock and from what ive seen its a decent size one that runs back up towards the MO line.

There are tunnels that run from Oklahoma all the way up to near St. Louis from mining and everything else. Most of the city of Joplin MO is built over old mines from back in the day. The uptick in earthquakes though does make a person stop and take stock. I ahve seen more earthquakes in the last 2 years than I have in the first 32 years of my life.

I have seen the future.

And it is fracked.

Injection wells cause earthquakes.
Fracking causes earthquakes.

When the water catches fire, and the birds fall from the sky, and the fish float-
and the ground groans

you'll be damned for ignoring the bird's song

Absolutely, you still don't go from 6 over 8 years to 850 over 1.5 years. I am not trying to convince anyone, just present the concept. Again, whether it is nibiru, fracking (which the OKGS discounted in june), or tectonic pressure, something is stinky in Denmark (yes, I know that isn't the actual quote). I again say it is something out of the norm for this area, and should be followed. There is a pattern to life, you can see it if you just open your mind.

It has been 200 years to the year the last time the New Madrid went off, there have been a ton of related and non-related threads regarding this, i.e. HAARP, Navy Map, and FEMA Camps, coffins, and MRE's. Put all this together, and a pattern starts to form, again, not my job to convince anyone only blow dust of the appropriate data. We all make our own beds (or not if your my daughter), and those are the beds we must sleep in....Take it for what it is, and do your own research.

im only one yr and a 5 months from being 21

I'm in Wichita. We felt it here. shook the house twice back-to-back.

3 years ago i would have said yes it was odd but since moving to midwest city from moore i have felt about 4 quakes. Not sure why i never noticed any in moore. The first was late at night while laying on the floor reading a book. i heard a boom the windows shook and i felt a wave go through the floor that started at my forearms then my chest, stomach, thighs, then my toes.... It was a strange feeling. So the next tornado season when you're running for the storm cellar just think that a quake could occur and collapse it on ya...

No. I see threads like this all the time, and the minor earthquakes never turn out to what they're hyped up to be.

hehe yep cool feeling till it kills your 28" monitor from falling debris

By half-time, I was thinking maybe the rumbling was caused by the Aggies. Not so much, now (OU 27/ A&M 10).

There have been many times ATS'ers from the midwest have gone all fresakish over something in the 4. region.

4 is nothing, they rant about nothing and try to get all exited over nothing. Australia has had many small quakes lately, they are not on a fault line, same with other countries. It happens, it's normal.

This may help some understand why we have quakes in the area..

www.decodedscience.com...

Most earthquakes are associated with major seismic zones, where the giant plates which make up the earth’s crust move relative to one another. Although the Pacific coast of North America is associated with such plate boundaries, and is consequently earthquake-prone, the central and eastern parts of the continent are isolated from such zones and generally regarded as being tectonically stable.

Earthquakes which occur in such areas are not, therefore, related to such large-scale plate dynamics, but are caused by movement along faults in the underlying bedrock. Tremors occurring on such fault systems are typically both smaller and shallower than those occurring at major plate boundaries – as occurred in Oklahoma.

Although the USGS notes that such faults are often deeply-buried, and can be undetected until earthquake activity occurs, an initial location map produced by the Oklahoma Geological Survey clearly shows that the main recorded tremors for the November 2011 earthquake occurred on a known fault line.
