Venture, you haven't kept us updated. i for one, have been following your posts.

Hasn't been anything new to report here. :)

Could this calm period mean we are geting ready for a big shaker?

Possibly or that the pressure has been released to the point where there isn't much left.

Hope it's the latter.

Was there by any chance an earthquake today on the southside?

About 10 minutes ago I heard something falling on my skylight and rolling around. I thought it may have been some seeds from the tree or something. I walked over to that part of the house and it happened again, the entire skylight and room shook. I went outside to see if a limb fell, nothing, no damage or anything. The panels of the skylight (already damaged from the hail) were shaking back and forth in their notches. I can't for the life of me figure out what happened.

Just a reminder, for those who might not know, we do have a separate thread about earthquakes.

A couple big ones in Edmond tonight. 3.3 at 9:37 PM and another larger one about 10 minutes later.

Well, we had to celebrate the Chesapeake merger somehow…

A 4.2 at 9:46 was the “big” one.

So far there have been 8.

Another 4.4 in Edmond. I think 12 total so far. Just heard a small 13th as I was typing this.

I am not sure if big is a good way to describe a 3.3, that is barely on verge a human may notice one might be happening, and even that depends on what you are doing at the time.

Felt a pretty strong one just after 5:30 AM.

Scared the crap out of my dogs.

Imagine living on the 134th of a residential skyscraper during an outbreak
Of earthquakes! Sorry had to go there :tongue:

Knocked a bunch of frames off of my shelves last night. Both of the ones I felt were huge.

Scared the crap out of my dogs.I knew something made the house "pop" and the cat jumped. Now I know why.

Wait! Could the Earthquake be a new name for the baseball team? :)

LOL, we're back!

The state corporation will have to bring those oil wells in the area under control.

The state corporation will have to bring those oil wells in the area under control.

It's the salt water injection wells that are the problem. Might have to shut a few down within the 6 miles radius of the quakes,

From an article in today’s Oklahoman:

On Saturday, a corporation commission spokesman said Oklahoma’s 3.0 magnitude and greater earthquake activity has dropped by more than 98 percent since 2017 since the commission initiated large-scale actions in 2015.

In a statement, the commission said:

"Our OCC Induced Seismicity Dept is researching these quakes. The quakes that occurred years ago (2014-2017) in the area were linked to oil and gas wastewater disposal wells that used the deep Arbuckle formation. They were shut down by the OCC years ago. Hydraulic fracturing has been linked to quakes in other areas, but there are no such activities in the Arcadia area."

Earthquake?

Just felt a big one in Edmond.

Felt it strong near downtown. Seemed to last a long time.

I felt it and startled me in Stillwater. I'm just glad it it's over and wasn't any worse. It's up there as one of the worst ones for being scary to me.

Someone from Joplin said they felt it. 5.1 magnitude, epicenter in Prague, OK.

Yeah, I thought it would be well up there. Compare that to the strongest quake ever in Oklahoma centered near Pawnee in 2016 at 5.8. That one was scarier.

I never feel them. The only one I remember feeling was the Kirk herstreit one

Extremely strong in Tulsa. Must’ve been the relatively shallow depth

I never feel them. The only one I remember feeling was the Kirk herstreit one

Oh, yeah, he was famous for the surprised look on his face on camera when an earthquake happened after the OSU game.

I hear them and feel them both, if not asleep. This latest one had thunder in the distance. Some of them come with a startlingly loud clap of thunder.
