Earthquake in Pawnee Oklahoma

[stose85]

So I'm working my second job in Cherryvale Kansas and I felt the entire building that I'm in shaking for several seconds. I've been around some small quakes around Miami Oklahoma but nothing this big. The news said that it registered a 5.8 and was centered in Pawnee Oklahoma. Reports of people feeling the tremors from Dallas all the way to Omaha. I've heard that this tied the all-time record for Oklahoma. Quite a ride! After I asked my wife if her and the kiddo were ok, I asked her to go into the garage and check on the FJR

Yes it was awful here in Stillwater. Only ~40 miles from where the earthquake hit. The whole house shook for 30 seconds. Thankfully no damage that I could find so far.

Daughter that lives in Norman, OK is thinking the world is ending...

It was felt here by most, but

Saw it on the news. To be honest, I didn't know they had them there. Hope all are able to recover.

You saw rushes having *** on the news??

Is this going to be possibly attributed to gas extraction of some sort? (The earthquake, not the ***.)

I thought this was about Parks & Recreation. If you know the show, you get it. I'd have definitely checked on my gun safe and my bikes, after the wife and baby girl, of course.

No Silly, they didn't show Rushes having ***, clip was too short. They just reported it....like they do every year.

Maybe that earthquake was a foreshadowing of Texas laughing at #3 Oklahoma football for getting spanked by the University of Houston.

Glad all of you are safe!

They have had micro-quakess for years. Mom's 85 and went ape about it (mostly because of the news coverage). Down in DFW we didn't notice it (apparently some did over on the Dullest side of town as mentioned above). Those nearest Pawnee saw some damage (fascia on some older buildings for example). Most of my friends in the OKC area were mostly murmuring because it was more unique than an F5e tornado.

She's also persuaded (by talking heads) it's due to fracking when, most likely, it's due to the over use of the different aquifers over the past 100 years; sucking them dry faster than they can replenish and leaving vast caves behind.

My BIL lives in Tulsa and he felt it pretty good at his house.

Interestingly enough, just before it hit, his cats freaked out and went running and hid.

That's what my wife said about the cats as well. The news showed birds blipped the weather map because they moved away from the epicenter in huge flocks.
