Earthquake in Oklahoma this morning.

We just had a M4.5 earthquake here in Central Oklahoma. They keep changing the magnitude. Some are reporting M4.3 and others M4.8. All I know is that I thought a car ran into my house. Was weird. I have also found fallen plaster in the house but so far that is the only damage I have.

Thanks for the post, my parents live in Edmond so I've been watching the increase in frequency and now magnitude...there have been around 50 quakes this year typically in the 3.0 magnitude. The one today is listed at 4.5 10 miles east of Norman, must've been close to Lake Thunderbird.

Where do you live, are you close to Norman or Midwest City

My suspicion is that all the oil that was removed for over a century, especially during the peak of the oil boom made deep caverns that are causing the Earth to shift, or collapse?!? Apparently geologists in Okla are concerned and baffled, they don't know whats causing the increase in earthquakes in the area.

There was also a 2.6 quake in Arkansas today 38 miles outside of Little Rock...busy day in the neighborhood ay ;)

I am in Edmond also. I think there is a small fault line in Oklahoma. I also know that we have been having a lot of small quakes in the last year or so here. This was the first one that I felt though.

a friend of mine says she has been having earthquakes over the last week in southern MO...

Many small quakes in Arkansas in an area where they are not common. Very close to crystal country, which is interesting, due to the crystal activation of 10:10:10.

There's a small fault line that runs through the Tulsa area, and they tried to build a nuclear power plant in Inola on top of that same fault line...which had a small earthquake in the area a few years later. But I don't think the line runs through the areas that have been getting the quakes, which seem to spread out from the center and to southeastern part of the state.

Sulphur geysers sprung up a few years ago, that also baffled geologists when it happened...and it wasn't near Sulphur Springs either. Strange stuff happening that's for sure...
