New Years Day Oklahoma Earthquake

[Jagdpanzer]

Hey Jerry,
You guys and gals in Edmond must have been partying hard bringing in the new year to have triggered that 4.2 magnitude quake. Hope you are Ok and everything in the LT5 store stayed on the shelves.

Yep! We're Rockin' & Rollin' here. The 4.3 set off the house alarm at 5:39AM & woke us right up. A stack of cooling fan/shroud assys fell over in the shop but not off the top shelf they were on, so no damage. We have had 4 quakes greater than 3.2 with epicenters within a few miles of the house, all just in the last week.

Oklahoma has had: (M1.5 or greater)
6 earthquakes today
45 earthquakes in the past 7 days
157 earthquakes in the past month
2,179 earthquakes in the past year

The largest earthquake in Oklahoma
today: 3.2 in Perry, Oklahoma
this week: 4.3 in Edmond, Oklahoma Our Location
this month: 4.3 in Fairview, Oklahoma
this year: 4.7 in Cherokee, Oklahoma

Wow!! That's really scary! Living there must be something like always living on the edge. Glad to know, though, that you, the family, the cars and the parts in the shop are safe. Would you ever consider moving here to Charlotte, NC? Just kidding, of course.

Wow! Be safe Jerry!

Fracking and Oklahoma Earthquakes

North Dakota Fracking is slowing down (or not speeding up as fast) due to oil prices hitting the skids. I am sure we will start seeing earthquakes in South Dakota.

How sure are you about that? I would take that wager, but neither of us will live long enough to settle the bet!

Jerry, Hoyt Axton always said that Oklahoma was the cultural center of the universe. Guess that applies to earthquakes as well. Take care.

Only periodically, and then only during the last 3~4 years.
