Had a minor earthquake just now in Edmond

Last data set was 4 days ago... So far.

Doesn't mean it didn't happen. If it's below 2.5, it won't show up on apps.

[Plutonic Panda]

Maybe it just hasn't updated. Do you know how it generally takes for the USGS to update?

[OKCisOK4me]

The app that I have on my phone shows new data within 30 minutes of the event...

[venture]

Nothing on the seismograms. If anything it was probably the wind.

Stillwater area just received a small one: 3.7 registered at 8:34 a.m., 10km NE of Stillwater at a 5.0km depth. Woke up my daughter (have to get onto her about being in bed at 8:30!).

It's not fracking that causes earthquakes -- it fricking. Fricking ESPN!

But ESPN was already in Stillwater getting ready for Gameday when the 3.7 quake happened.

At 5:15pm, another earthquake near Edmond at 2.7, this time 11 mi. to the NW.

Which proves my point.

I never get tired of watching that video.
Hurray for The National Film Board of Canada.

Anyone record or note anything in the S OK County/N Cleveland County area around 1:30 AM last night (early AM 26 Nov?)

I didn't feel anything myself, but an acquaintance says they were rocked awake in the middle of the night by what they thought surely was an earthquake.

[OKCisOK4me]

Not seeing anything on USGS for that time period. But you never know cause I had a friend that was talking quake on Sunday in Edmond and I couldn't find anything on it til today...

[rezman]

There was some light booming and rumble yesterday several times in the west Edmond area of Edmond Rd & Western.

That it, Kirk Herbstreit is going to have to be officially banned from commentating on OSU games

[SoonerDave]

Okay, I think I'm getting earthquake paranoid.

Sitting over here near the Crest at SW 104th and May, I thought sure I heard a strange rumble/thunderclap - didn't see any large trucks anywhere and it didn't seem to come from the direction of the airport. Anyone in that area hear anything like this in the 9:35-9:40AM timeframe (Friday AM)?

Haven't checked any USGS data yet.

But fracking does cause earthquakes, or at least the waste water associated with it. How much worse do the earthquakes have to get before something is done?

Hmmm...wish that article went into more depth about how the author drew his (her?) conclusions. It said said the tremors around Youngstown ended "shortly after" the well was closed - were there quakes after they ceased pumping operations? And there were "correlations' between dates and temporary cessations - again, any time I see "correlations" used to prove a point, I get an itchy twitch on the back of my neck. And the fact that there was an existing fault is no trivial matter.

Just saying I wish they'd go into more depth about their absolute conclusion that the waste caused the earthquakes.

[mugofbeer]

Where is this going on in NE Oklahoma County or under Edmond? I don't see a connection in this case.

[RadicalModerate]

I thought I felt a fracking earthquake last night.
Or, perhaps, the night before.
Then I decided that I might be wrong about that.
Yet I'm fairly sure it was an earthquake anyway.
Even if it wasn't.

[Praedura]

quakes!

1:11 am (7:11 UTC) -- I'm guessing about a 3.5

then another one at 1:22 (eleven minutes later), also of similar strength
