I love the people in the thread citing the USGS as evidence that Oklahoma has always had these kinds of quakes, when the USGS has specifically said that the number of quakes has "increased dramatically over the past few years" starting with 2009. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/induced/ quote:Between the years 1973–2008, there was an average of 21 earthquakes of magnitude three and larger in the central and eastern United States. This rate jumped to an average of 99 M3+ earthquakes per year in 2009–2013, and the rate continues to rise. And no, fracking is not entirely to blame, but all sorts of oil extraction methods are contributing: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/induced/myths.php Basically, you're turning your state into an air hockey table.

You know, our license plates used to have this slogan: As many people who live here have pointed out, that's pretty much how we all feel about living here. "It's not great, but Oklahoma is OK."

I love when people are smug about something they obviously didn't read I too missed that the guy said "I've never even heard of an Earthquake in Oklahoma before this year" and the USGS data was posted to prove that not only has oklahoma always had earthquakes, but due to hundreds of percent increase in frequency since 2009 they are no secret and a daily occurrence all over the state.

What do you suppose the water pressure is like in the bottom of those old mineshafts that have been filling up for decades since they've been abandoned? Pretty high, I'd guess. Like, high enough to force a bunch of water into a bunch of cracks and stuff, I wot. Sort of like fracking, but without any supervision or planning involved.

i would have expected fracking to cause a bunch of sinkholes and subsidence rather than earthquakes, but the results speak for themselves.

its not like its a binary option. ok and other fracklands have hella sinkholes too

A magnitude 3 earthquake is the equivalent of 480kg of TNT. Which ain't poo poo compared to wartime explosives and is insignificant compared to industrial blasting in the mining industry.

i guarantee you a 480kg bomb detonating in a randomly picked civilian area would raise heads tho counterpoint; when in oklahoma you are in a war zone

i suspect that all those microquakes makes the local meth labs even more likely to explode.

Oklahoma produced Braum's ice cream stores and delivered them to the blighted lands of north Texas and southwestern Missouri. So it's got that going on.
