Another quake, Tulsa OK

reply to post by Ecidemon


That maybe true. but at this rate your pacing 2,500 anually above 2.5 mag.

What's kind of weird, is the quake happened during a thunderclap (for me, at least) so my house was shaking above and below.
And we're under a tornado watch too. Crazy.

felt it in denton texxxas again.

I didn't feel the first two, but I absolutely felt that one...It shook my whole bedroom, at first I thought it was just me then I saw my cat's face and I knew we had another shakey shakey. While I've slept through a few, this was the first I've ever actually felt. Can mark that off the list

Fayetteville, AR

I am in St Louis and did not feel it at all.
Why should you be worried about St Louis?

The weather guy for that area said that's what it was. He called it a thunder quake at first but meant that it was from the storms.

Felt it here in Van Buren, Arkansas. Was short and smaller than the last one. Just a quick Jolt. I'm about 3 hours from OKC, right off of I-40 on the border of AR.

I think lat year there were over 1,000 which is highly unusual - I didn't feel any of those, though.

The "good" thing is they're all centered along a current known fault line just on the other side of the Nemaha Uplift, which are all known features and are known to produce small quakes, with the potential for larger ones. It's an interesting feature, for sure.

My birthday is tomorrow, and it is sure shaping up to be an interesting week, with earthquakes, tornadoes and bad storms headed our way, satellites, and giant sunspots coming at us from space! Not to mention 11/11/11 LOL.

Because of these quakes my project tomorrow is going to be draining my 75 gallon fishtank and moving the few fish from it into a much smaller 20 gallon tank that can sit on the kitchen counter. I am not comfortable having that much water sitting on a stand in the living room!!

Tornados and earthquakes ?

OP, you know ? There is a point, when even the bravest of men must realize, their luck has run out.

Tonados and earthquakes ? At least you aren't bored.

I don't know , would you be safe in the cellar from both?

edit on 7-11-2011 by Hektik1 because: (no reason given)

These things must propagate East faster than they do west, because I'm about 85 miles from OKC and didn't feel a thing. (I'm in Lawton)

Tornadoes arent a big deal here. We hear a tornado siren and think "Man, I'm hungry"

Ok, new earthquake

Out with the old, in with the new.

6.9 probably going to be upgraded to 7.0

I'd be more worried about a tornado I think.

We dont even blink at tornadoes in Oklahoma.

nope out here in Oklahoma and Kansas we here of a tornado we run out side to see it and try to get pictures of it. it is truly weird tho lived here for 20 some years and have only seen funnel clouds and no tornadoes, and have felt 2 earthquakes so far.

Thats a post for Quakewatch, it's got nothing to do with what's happening in OK.

3rd... I'm getting a little bit freaked out at this point.

Earthquake swarm in progress for how long now?
Down side is that you guys are feeling something new called earthquakes.
Up side is that as long as the earth is moving a little bit at a time in fits and starts... that is a good thing. When it stops, then you can begin to worry. What would you rather, a lot of little quakes, or one big one?

Our weather here is so crazy that we could have the tornadoes tonight, wake up to clear sunny skies in the morning with temps in the 70s, and have an ice storm at midnight tomorrow night.

Everyone in Tulsa and east, stay safe, those storms are moving in over the next hour or so. Hopefully the ground stays quiet for the rest of the evening, I would hate to have to evacuate buildings with this weather moving in.

lol, yah.

*Siren goes off* Grabs chair and sits on porch with equally unaffected children who are playing the rain.*Siren continues in background*

Felt it in KC,MO Sitting in the same chair. oh and again the first thing I do is go look up how big it was and where. And oddly Cathedral Cave, Missouri seismic server is down.

You guys is crazy. Out here on the west coast we don't hardly blink at any earthquake below a 5 or 6, but would quake in our boots if we had to endure even one tornado.
We'll keep our earthquakes, thank you very much.
