Flimsy rear end Okie built bullshit falls over in a 5.6. Most of the civilized world doesn't even get out of bed for anything under 6.0. Stuff like this is why the only memorable song praising Oklahoma just says that it's windy, that it's "doing fine, " and that it's "OK."

well there were never earthquakes in oklahoma until the fracking industry was allowed to work unregulated so it probably is

relatively minor earthquakes in places that have no history of earthquakes sounds like fracking, yeah.

Well the USGS said there have been earthquakes there, citing examples as strong as this one all the way back into the 1920s, but this guy hasn't felt them so now I don't know what to think.



We all know it isn't the fracking industry but is instead the Annanuki that inhabit the subterranean passageways to hollow earth. They are located in Oklahoma because it's a deserted shithole nobody cares about and the first response to "Earthquake in Oklahoma" is "Oklahoma is a state?! Oh...right...like the song"

Honestly, sacrificing Oklahoma for cheap gas, isn't a bad deal at all.

Kills two birds with one stone, imo.
