earthquake
Displaying 1 - 30 of 47
Just filled out the "felt it" report on a small earthquake just past 10am, here in the nouveau quake capital, Oklahoma. Only 3.0 and many miles away, but I'm getting sensitized to feeling them.
5.0 earthquake near Cushing OK tonight 7:45 Central STANDARD Time. (Death to DST!) Around 70 miles away as the crow barks.
Book experience of the week:
redc1c4: ...doesn't help that the local building standards don't incorporate anti-seismic requirements, as they do here in Quake-land...
Alberta Oil Peon: ...That's not an atypical depth for deep disposal wells. Usually, such wells are drilled to exploit a brine-laden permeable zone below any potentially productive formations.
Mitey Mouse a/k/a Alberta Oil Peon - heh.
Saw a bit of vid of the '64 (?) Alaska quake today. I well remember that as one of the biggest events of my yout'.
Back. As threatened. Home is where the dog runs free.
Mitey Mouse: Did you get shaken up by the tremor, Mindful? How about the other OK Morons and Ettes?
Me: ...refugees flood west...
By which of course I meant east.
After watching some vids over dinner, came back in to catch up on the comments.
This thread seems rather tiresome.
After a couple of cups of coffee, I decided to fill out the felt-it form for USGS.
Good morning, Sherry! USGS is calling it 5.6. I might report it, but if they felt it in Houston & St Lou, I'm thinking my report won't mean much. 
Ah, I meant heard of it not felt it.
Still rattled. 
Now on USGS - 5.6 in Pawnee OK, about 75 miles SW of us. I see others here felt it. Hi, neighbors!
Howdy, Morons!
Yesterday I was reading how earthquakes in Oklahoma were getting fewer and farther between thanks to regulation of groundwater injection.
Reading through the comments, I read aloud to Milady:
365 F**K a light bulb just exploded over my head.

Yep, there it is... a 5.1 quake. Whoo!
For the record... sitting here in my concrete house in the country in NE Okla, felt my chair wobble back & forth slightly as if the dog were leaning against my chair scratching himself...
Should've checked the headlines more carefully first. Didn't realize the Powerball answer was in there. Oh, well. There's this...
New Madrid... First read about the possible effects of "if it happened today" some forty years ago. I think the article said they thought it likely to happen in the next 50 years...
Oklahoma had more earthquakes last year than all the rest of the continental US combined.
And we're off to a good start in the new year.
Vic: "I have heard that the strata in OK has a hard stone layer you have to blast through to dig a storm shelter so they are very expensive."
"...8,000 fans at a concert in Leipzig jumped so energetically that they set off a "mini-earthquake" ...strong enough to rip the wall paper in houses in the Waldstrassen neighbourhood.

Yup. That was a good one. Those mid-continent long waves really shake a big area.
8:51 CDT, NE Oklahoma. I'm pretty sure that was an earthquake rattling my concrete house for maybe five seconds. Wow.
Me, 'way back at #312, FTR
"And a couple sizeable urns with towers."
urns = urbs, urban areas
durn burn
Hadoop: "Oklahoma is claiming that fracking is causing earthquakes."
Two fixes.
"Everyone know about the Great Dustbowl era in Oklahoma History?"
