Well, I guess so........... my computer was moving and my heart jumped in my throat because I'm here alone and thought someone was right behind me yanking on my chair. I felt that one last week too, even though I didn't post that.

I felt it at work! Biggest one I have felt at the office. The building actually swayed, which I have never felt it do.

I was sitting on the sofa, and it felt like someone bumped it real hard. On the news they are reporting that the first one was 4.0 and the second was 4.5. I guess the epi center was north of Oklahoma City.

I bet that was scary. I'm in SW OKC a but didn't feel it.

eYup i found out how fast I could run. Bill was underneath the 2 story house working on the foundation. He said nothing happened over there.

I didn't, but might have thought it was blasting at the gravel pit. Maybe that explains the pushy cat at Worley's Greenhouse. My animals get needy when there are earthquakes. Worley's perennials are 1/2 off if you are close to one.

I felt nothing down here. Yall have all the fun up there. The Bay Area in Cali had a 4.0----so your quake was stronger than theirs.

Guys, I'm getting to the point that I imagine I'm feeling them sometimes or I'm not sure if I am or not. Slight vibrations seem fairly common but bigger ones like today are unmistakable. Is anyone feeling very slight vibrations at times? I work upstairs while the spouse is always in the studio on a concrete slab at ground level. We now know it makes a big difference in what you feel or what you don't feel, there is often movement up here, enough to make noises where objects are touching while you feel nothing at all on ground level. I'm wondering how it feels downtown in those tall buildings?

When the kids jump, when the trucks roll by, when thunder occurs and other things, I'm always thinking it is a quake. It's nerve-wracking. And it's worse depending on what part of the house I am in.

I felt it in at the "Norman/Moore border". I had just sit down for a break. Yep.

How 'bout that one? UGH

Felt it in Chickasha! The computer monitor and my lampshade went nuts!

yup our tower in OKC was moving. Felt it on the 24th floor.

Did we have another one or are these reports on yesterday's. If yesterday's, how did Chickasha feel it and SW OKC Didnt, it's weird. i guess it's where your standing, I was standing next to a large diesel tank on the ground and felt nothing.

I just wish they would stop. I could open up a whole can of worms and ask everyone what they think is the cause of our frequent quakes. What do you think?

I was referring to one of yesterday's quakes - I only felt the one at about 1:15 or so. Sometimes other people feel them and I don't but boy, was my stuff a rattlin' yesterday!

What do I think? I've gotten to the point I hardly recognize anything around me anymore. Seems everything has changed in so many areas of our culture, mechanized/computerized increasingly impersonalized world, road rage drivers, obsession with health/disease/drug marketing, weird climate, everyone's nose stuck in a hand gadget, etc., these earthquakes are just another change in the colder world we are now living in.

I wander what those injection well rigs were doing? They were sitting right on the epicenter. Not to say they were involved in any way, just wondering.

No ifs ands or buts, it the drilling, but definitely the injection wells. And they have control. When the epicenters were near Cushing they became concerned about compromising the oil tanks (priorities, ya know). We were receiving multiple quakes PER DAY at that time. They installed 4 seismometers to monitor. The quakes settled down. They know exactly what they are doing.

It is now legal to sue these companies for quake damages. While I believe the debate is over, I know nothing will change. Nothing at all. There is an old superfund site a stone's throw from where we live. There is no reason to believe that anything will be different from their past behaviors: Rape the land, hurt the people, move on and make corrections to the site after profits.

On the news today they said two of the injection wells near Crescent, the site of this week's large quakes, are being shut down and a third injection well a little further away will cut the amount they're injected by 50%. It will be interesting to see if the quakes continue in that specific area.

My only comment on whether it is related to fracking and injection wells is that I personally believe it is, and that is just a personal opinion not backed up by scientific study.

Love County started having quakes a couple of years shortly ago after a new injection well opened in the same area where the quakes were occurring. The local community was up in arms and a community meeting was held very quickly after that series of little quakes. The owner of the injection well voluntarily shut down the well very quickly after the community meeting while making no admission of there being a link between his injection well and the earthquakes, and there were no more quakes in that part of the county (or any other part of the county). So, I feel like our county's quakes were indeed related to that particular injection well. I don't know if all the quakes in OK are related to injection wells, but in our county, I believe they were linked.

Two waste water injection wells near Crescent ( yesterday's epicenter) have shut down, a third, further away is now only doing 50% of what it was. http://m.newson6.com/story.aspx?story=29650739&catId=112042

Dawn and I were posting at the same time.

40 years ago a very intelligent man told me he was building an earhquake proof house in Tulsa. The fault lines are already there, I just think some of these wells are exacerbating the seismic activity.

Indeed, we can only make a causal connection. There is science, however, in other states. I'm too lazy and tired to look it up. Perhaps, I'm too skeptical. I'm emotionally detached from it all, now. Except about an hour following a quake and my own personal goals. I don't wish to whine about it, but do what I can.

My vote goes to injection wells also.

I agree. Everything has just increased dramatically since they have been doing the large number of injection wells. They will argue we have always had injection wells, but not at this large number.I realize we sit on a major fault line but the quakes are to shallow. Nothing scientific to back it up but if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck then it's probably a duck. I don't think we will ever know for sure, the oil companies are to wealthy and politically connected for the truth to ever be known. We have made CNN 2 days in a row, they only show Oklahoma after some type of disasters. People only see the bad side of Oklahoma, tornadoes,floods and now earthquakes. I am sure the tourism department is not thrilled at that.

just my opinion

I agree that the only time Oklahoma makes the national news is when we have a natural disaster: wildfires, ice storms, snow storms, tornadoes, baseball-sized hail, prolonged drought that ravages the agricultural industry, extreme rain or flooding.....and, now, with the swarm of earthquakes the last few years. Oh, and the biggie from decades ago: the Dust Bowl. I don't know how the tourism industry can combat all the publicity from all the above, but there is that sector of the traveling public that comes to Oklahoma in the spring to go on the commercially-operated Tornado Tours.
