Anyone feel that earthquake?

5.6 magnitude earthquake rattles Oklahoma, surrounding states Saturday

An earthquake that may have tied the biggest one in state history to date has rattled across Oklahoma and several surrounding states Saturday morning.

Preliminary reports are that the quake was 5.6 magnitude, the U.S. Geological Survey reports. That would tie the state's biggest quake in history, a 5.6 magnitude quake near Prague in 2011.

The quake Saturday was at 7:02 a.m. and the epicenter was 8 miles northwest of Pawnee in Pawnee County in northern Oklahoma near the Arkansas River, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.

Did anything sink or split open or was it just a shaker?

I live in California you'd have to ask which quake.

I have not inspected the house yet. I'm just working on my first cup of coffee now.

If you smell gas do nothing.

LOL, I'm all electric.

I felt my first earthquake 5 yrs ago. It was bizarro.

When I was living in upstate New York a mild earthquake was reported in our area and it was a couple of days before a farmer discovered what had actually happened--an old salt mine had collapsed from encroaching ground water. It took out a piece of road and a bridge, as well as drowning a huge farm field in salt water.
That's why I wondered if maybe something underground had collapsed.

Earthquake rookies!

I just saw a report,, looks like minor damage near the epicenter about the center of Oklahoma.

Captain Obvious to the rescue......!

aint that the truth.....remember the Landers quake last century?.....now that was a quake.....i can imagine what those people in other parts of the world feel like when they get those 7 pointers...

Earthquake rookies!

True, and I'm already not a fan.

The Associated Press attributes a recent increase in Oklahoma quake magnitudes to underground disposal of wastewater from oil and natural gas production. Environmentalists have long been concerned about the side effects of fracking in the area, which has already been blamed for tremors in the region.

Seismic activity is getting worse in Oklahoma. The state is recording an average of two and a half earthquakes daily of a magnitude 3 or higher, a seismicity rate 600 times greater than before 2008. The state is now also the epicenter of a debate over whether wastewater disposal from fracking triggers earthquakes.

But fracking is safe!

Sorry, I was visiting but also doing a colon cleanse, far too much gas buildup and I had to let loose. I've already contacted the USGS and apologized.

I'm from the West Coast, PNW area. We have earthquakes on a regular basis, but not as bad as in California. Usually, in the PNW, they don't do much damage. There was a 7.0 earthquake near Olympia, Wa in 1949 that caused milllions of $ of damage and 8 deaths. In 1965 a 6.7 caused millions of $ of damage and 3 people were killed. In 1945 and 1946 there were 7.3 earthquakes in the PNW with 2 deaths in 1946. There was a 6.8 in 2001.

Seattle Tacoma Area, Washington has had: (M1.5 or greater)

• 0 earthquakes today
• 1 earthquake in the past 7 days
• 6 earthquakes in the past month
• 70 earthquakes in the past year

The largest earthquake in Seattle Tacoma Area, Washington:

• this week: 1.7 in Port Ludlow, Washington, United States
• this month: 1.9 in Everett, Washington, United States
• this year: 2.9 in Lakeland South, Washington, United States

I grew up with them and they are fairly common, but not usually very big.

So is tectonic plate movement.......

A 7.3 would be scary!
