Another unusual quake for east of the Rockies which was apparently felt quite far away from the epicenter. Any ETS folks feel it?

"The largest earthquake ever recorded in the state of Oklahoma struck Saturday night, officials said.

The quake had a magnitude of 5.6, and its epicenter was four miles east of Sparks in Lincoln County, according to the Oklahoma Geological Survey. The quake hit at 10:53 p.m."

Amazing!

Wow, felt as far away as Illinois? After learning from the recent Virginia quake that the ground towards the east coast is more brittle and transmits shaking further than quakes that happen out West, I was wondering if the same could be said of this Oklahoma quake. I guess the answer is yes.

Drought and dust storms in Texas. Quakes in Oklahoma. What next for that area? Swarms of locust?

Yep, 256 miles away. The aftershocks keep freaking my dogs out.

I envision the last year or so of earthquakes as a run-up to something happening around New Madrid.

My customer started requiring seismic bracing for all equipment racks / cabinets nation wide. Previously it was only on the left coast.

Apparently OK has had over 1000 earthquakes this year compared
to the usual 50. Wonder if all that fracking is lubricating the
plates.

I just saw a piece on ABC News. I assume the announcer was referring to Oklahoma specifically, but he was saying that 2011 was the year of the highest high temp, lowest low temp, highest wind speed, most snowfall, and largest hail--and now, the strongest earthquake ever in Oklahoma. What next for OK?

According to a USGS study, fracking is not involved.

Pretty much the Tornado capital in the US & Now Earthquakes!Heck,what did they do to inherit this?

I live in northwest Arkansas, about 175 miles northeast of the epicenter. I was driving when it struck, so I did even feel it, but Facebook and Twitter lit up.

My wife said it was like a vehicle was outside the house with the base turned WAY UP. Then she heard something fall upstairs. She stood up off and felt the shaking.

This is about the fifth earthquake we've felt here. Having grown up here, pushing five full decades, we've never had quakes before -- at least not like this.

Anyway, no damage around here.

But it sure makes you start rethinking the preparation process.
