ya i guess you're right. i worked as a title analyst at a mineral leasing firm in oklahoma for 2 years and never saw a single well that wasn't for natural gas though so i don't think it's a big factor in that region

:confused: I've lived in Oklahoma my entire life, (thanks, random chance!) and I have never experienced or heard of an earthquake here before this year.

Unless you're gonna talk about some poo poo that happened 50 years ago. (Nothing before I was born matters.)

Hmm. I dunno. Something is off. USGS can you help with earthquakes in the past 15 years? Let's narrow the results down to 2.5 or stronger



The results seem a little inconclusive if some guy hasn't ever "heard of or felt an Earthquake"

There can't be any single famous earthquakes

Beginning in 2009, the frequency of earthquakes in the U.S. State of Oklahoma rapidly increased from an average of less than two 3.0+ Mw earthquakes per year to hundreds in 2014 and 2015

A 5.6 doesn't even wake you up in California, it's barely worth mentioning. People talk about the little earthquakes here the way everyone else talks about the rain. Probably because California doesn't have any rain, but has lots of earthquakes. Hahaha!!!

places like cali that have frequent earthquakes also have earthquake building codes. by contrast, oklahoma is mostly one big trailer park. they don't have the infrastructure to handle it, and the ok state government is amazingly incompetent so that will not change.

what's more, no one really knows what will happen with fracking. will the earthquakes stay at this intensity and frequency, subside, get worse, or summon the lava men from the center of the earth? there isn't much research about the subject either, for obvious reasons.

It is totally because of fracing but the real mystery is why anyone would give a poo poo. Oh no more 2-3.0 earthquakes what a bunch of babies. it gives these places a semblance of industry and jobs that pay more than min wage and the rest of us cheap loving gas win win.

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."

Remember when people kept trying to assure us that fracking wasn't dangerous? Guess where they've been doing all that fracking? The amount of earthquakes in OK has increased from 2 per year to hundreds since they began.

if fracking only ever causes a massive amount of tiny earthquakes then it isn't really a big deal. that's a pretty big if, though.

trailers/mobile homes do just fine in earthquakes (and are extremely common in CA).

the problem in areas with no earthquake codes is stuff like older brick buildings or concrete apartment blocks, not trailer parks.
