Another earthquake here in Oklahoma

At approximately 8:48 PM my house was shaking and glass was rattling. This sort of thing is crazy for Oklahoma

Yes - we noticed, too. The USGS already has info about it - it's another 4.7, just like the one we had early Saturday morning. It didn't last as long as the 5.6 one.

So weird! The deep, rumbling noise is eerie....

I read that Oklahoma is over some ancient fault line.

Yes, it is eerie Lisa. My 3yr old was in full on not wanting to take no for an answer mode when it happened and it shut him right up for the duration LOL

There's the Meers fault in SW Oklahoma, that supposedly hasn't been active in 1300 years. It's still visible on the surface. This one is on the eastern part of the state and has been called a "newer" fault.

Local seismologists interviewed all seem mystified about this sudden increase in activity. I hope there will be more study and monitoring done to find out more about what's going on.

You'd be starting a thread like Matt did, Paul. "My friend and her family have moved into my living room and won't go away. And her kids are eating all of my Rice Krispies. Plus, they never flush the toilet."

Earthquakes in Oklahoma????? What next????
The song "California Earthquake" by John Hartford comes to mind......
"Mother nature's got gas, her diet's gone stale"
"See her acid indigestion on the Richter scale"

P.S. No "rapture"........but the Mayan calendar thing is only 13 months away.....12/12/12.....we'd all better party like it's 1999!

Did we ever have any reason not to party like it's 1999?

I hope nobody got hurt! Keep it up Oklahoma, we're with you!
