2014 Oklahoma Earthquake Discussion

[BBatesokc]

Felt it near East 15th and I-35. Honestly, didn't feel that strong to me. Slight rumble up to the finish and then just a slightly more noticeable jolt. Not even enough to make me stop what I was doing.

slight but noticeable shudder at Britton and Rockwell.

[BlackmoreRulz]

3.4 7 miles north of Edmond, was a strong quick jolt here in N Edmond

Oklahoma Grapples With Earthquake Spike?And Evidence of Industry's Role

Another article. They were correct in not blaming fracking, but on waste water disposal.

There is a thread in the politics section for that kind of article.

Well that was a big one...

[Mel]

They are calling a 3.3 just east of Edmond.

The epicenter for this one was slightly less than a mile from my house. I have a question and I'm not wanting this to be political, but I live one mile East of Frontier City and there has been little (almost none) oil exploration over here. There are a few pumps running that have been here for years. I live about a half mile South of Arcadia lake. How does "fracking" have anything to do with all of the quakes that I have experienced? Or, has the lake caused the increase in the number of quakes?

Updated chart image...I'll get the table in the thread updated soon.

[venture]

Table updated. August so far is coming in as the 2nd slowest month of the year for quakes in the state. Of course that can all change.

It's building up

[OKCisOK4me]

Nibiru sure is pulling on our crust.

[jerrywall]

Big shake in Edmond just now... one of the biggest I've felt.

[Of Sound Mind]

Felt it very big in downtown OKC.

[ABryant]

7:44 AM NW OKC. Another one.

[gopokes88]

That was a nice little rattle.

[Bellaboo]

Shook the building hard in the capital complex.

[Dustin]

It woke me up...

4.2 ssw of guthrie.

M4.2 - 7km SSW of Guthrie, Oklahoma 2014-08-19 12:41:35 UTC

[LocoAko]

Nothing here in Norman. Thought it'd woken me up since I snapped awake earlier than normal today but the timing doesn't align. The soil in my neighborhood must be rock solid and unshakable lol.

[Bunty]

How long did it last? A second or two?

[OkieHornet]

it went for a good 15 seconds or so at my house in nw edmond. pretty hard shakeing.

Is there a thread for the Napa earthquake? Friend of mine lives in Sonoma, 9 miles from the epicenter. She and her husband are out of town this weekend and the 70 year old neighbor watching their house says it is a wreck and she can't "remember" if she unplugged anything, including the big screen that got thrown across the room. My friend is freaked out because she has no idea what damage occurred and is worried about electrical fires.

There isn't, but feel free to start a new thread on it. This one is already pretty extensive with our own (unlike the volcano thread which was very short).
