How do you feel about these earthquakes?

I ask because we just had another small one (second in two weeks). I was putting up dishes so had my cabinet open. Three of my glasses shook out and broke. :(

Apparently Oklahoma now has the most earthquakes of any state in the US. Thanks Fracking.

Not American. Is this related to Obama's oil plan?

I don't think so? Fracking has been happening for a while and is the process they use to get natural gas. And technically, most signs are pointing towards the injection of wastewater deep into the earth.

Not in the slightest, given that fracking is meant for natural gas.

I feel totally cool with them, and actually wish they were more severe. It is the only way people will learn.

I'm only in Oklahoma for... maybe two months of the year? But last year while I was in that region there were THREE fucking earthquakes. At least. I only felt the three, but there might have been more.

It's pretty terrifying tbh. Especially since the companies doing the fracking seem to still be denying the connection. If it can cause little earthquakes, what else can it do? Massive sinkholes? Underground explosions? Poisoning the water table? Nothing that I want to be around for.

It will only be a problem for them when they start losing money. The poisoned water is probably already happening.

OT but I didn't know Oklahoma is considered a Midwest state now. Are all the Plains states called Midwest now?

It depends on who you talk to. Sometimes we are midwest, sometimes the South. Sometimes the Southwest. I like to think of us as "Texas's Hat".

I'm Minnesota, and I never knew Oklahoma was part of the Midwest. lol I thought midwest was like... us upper middle states.

Nayrt

I'm from MN too, and I when I started college in Boston, I was very surprised to hear Ohio is considered Midwestern. It's so far east, it's neither in the west nor the middle! I grew up thinking of the Midwest as MN, IA, WI, IL, MI and maybe the Dakotas, Kansas, and Nebraska, although I think of those as Plains states now.

I always thought the Midwest was upper-middle-east and was named while the frontier was still expanding early in the US's history. I grew up assuming it was IN, MI, IL, OH, KY, and WI. (I'd add MN, MO and IA too at this point, and maybe subtract KY.) Apparently, however, the U.S. Census Bureau defines both general areas of the Midwest - but they also have only four areas overall so I think it's a very un-specific and maybe not very useful way of defining a region.

Was thinking this. It's always a little disjointing. I'm from Indiana and Oklahoma is pretty far away. I'd definitely call it a Great Plains state or just Plains State, or maybe Central State.

Flyoverland.

On the one hand, quakes are shitty, especially if your area is unprepared for them. Sorry your stuff broke!

...Ooooon the other hand, most of the people I know would barely consider earthquakes under 4.5 worth talking about. That's, "oh, was that a quake? Yeah, the light fixture's swaying. Back to work, everybody!"

OK is definitely not made for them. Especially with the drought. Our house foundations are already cracking from that!

And experts are saying they expect bigger ones to start happening. :|

The only time I've ever felt an earthquake was years ago when I was on the top floor of the hotel in Japan my family and I was staying, and I live on the Pacific Ring of Fire!

It actually felt... relaxing, especially since the hotel was designed to sway gently during a quake and I was having breakfast at the time. My mother was less excited though and stayed in the lobby for the rest of the morning.

With that in mind, that sucks. Hope you can find a way to deal with it. :(

I heard Japan has good earthquake resistant buildings! Never a dull moment living in the ROF is it?

I moved from the midwest to California and earthquakes don't bother me much. There's always paranoia of "the big one" coming but I figure outside of having supplies ready there's not much I can do about so I try not to worry.

I don't always feel the quakes in my building (we are built for earthquakes since it's so common here) but ones that last a while can be freaky. The last one we had seemed to go on for a bit and I almost thought we were in for a large one.

You must be closer to the center of the state than I am. I haven't felt anything here. Though the fact that we're getting them at all does worry me. After that 'big one' we got last year (or the year before?), my parents got a blanket form letter from their insurance company saying that the company was discontinuing its earthquake insurance in Oklahoma (though customers were still free to keep their volcano insurance *brb dying*). I imagine there were few people in OK that had either of those extra clauses, but now that earthquakes are a legitimate possibility, you can no longer insure for them. At least with that company.

Had to study fracking in the US for my degree. Fucking hell but you guys got screwed over good.
