No, its only going to be getting worse. There are movies and documentaries on Oklahoma's fault lines. And yes, there are hot magma flowing underneath Oklahoma. Its only a matter of time.

We felt it big time. We thought for a while that a car had hit the house or something. lol

What movies and documentaries?? And there's hot magma flowing under the entire Earth. If you mean its flowing closer to the surface in OK, I'll point you to Yellowstone, Hawaii, and the entire Pacific Rim where it stays closer to the Earth's surface.

More drama from you...why do I respond??

I think I felt it at my house (104th and Penn). Shook the bed a little...unless it was something else. I do remember feeling something between when I went to bed and fell asleep (so between 1230-120a). Could well have been something else though.

I'm at Reno and Air Depot and it shook the floor a bit soft buzz, the boom, then a long slow resonance... knew it had to be an earthquake, its the 4th one i've felt in MWC in the past 4 years.

You're most likely a loyal shopper at the nearby Crest. I wonder how often I sacked your groceries and if you ever tipped me? :-P

I think I read somewhere earlier today that it was centered under the Braums on Reno in MWC between Midwest and Air Depot, just by the little Crest.
For once it's nowhere near a well or any kind.

If you have Google Earth, you can go to the USGS page where the earthquake data is. Under the "Maps" tab, you can download a .kml file which will put a star on the estimated epicenter.

In the case of this 2.9 earthquake, the star is on SE 15th St between Nottoway Dr. and Westminster.

Here is a Google Map with all of the recent Midwest City earthquake epicenters located.

Felt it - the strongest so far at the house. Moved my bed against the wall with a bang. Fun times!

small.. but still shook the house a little.

The USGS rates this one at Magnitude 3.5 and the .kml file for Google Earth pinpoints the estimated epicenter at about 1/4 mile east of Douglas Blvd. just south of Jones - Spencer Rd.

I was already awake and felt the ripples as I lay in bed.

Ysterday (10/28) I thought it was the cat jumping up and down on bed (he does that when he wants me to feed him and I'm sleeping past my usual 3 AM rise time). I yelled at him to go to sleep and he woke up with an indignant look on his face.

I was always curious if the earthquake were produced by by actual geological activity or if it's the way in which they remove natural grass from the ground.

***CORRECTION***
I meant to say Natural Gas, I'm sure you knew that too Thunder, but instead of giving a seriously reply, you decided to be childish and take it the other direction.. as usual. Oh by the way, how about my double use of "by" in the previous sentence.

4 miles east of Sparks, OK. The one last night was 6 miles south east of the same city.

USGS confirmed 5.6. New state record. I wonder if it caused any damage?

I sure felt it good in Bixby. A set of bunk beds was shaking real bad.

Reports are flowing in on replaced grass for turf has been spotted ripped all over multiple locations. Governor Mary Fallin commented early Sunday afternoon, "This is a very sad day for the taxpayers of Oklahoma dealing with the loss of new turf recently installed. I have declared State of Emergency and requested federal assistance to help replace the damaged turf. Rest assured we will continue to replace grass for turf to prevent wildfires this Winter onward." Many calls have been flowing into the emergency command center from residents and farmers panicking since the record-breaking M5.6 quake hit shortly after 10:50pm Saturday night. Hang in there, new replacement turf is on the way.

I'm still in D.C., but my S.O. said the tremor continued for 30 full seconds. The cats started freaking out before the EQ - amazing how sensitive animals are to natural disturbances.

Various websites are saying the increased activity is due to 1)Fracking methods used by energy companies to remove gas and other resources from ground and/or 2) pending rapture/God's wrath.

What about fault lines? When you hear hoofbeats, it could be horses instead of zebras.

Yeah, it's more likely due to the rapture than from fracking...

oh, poo, let's stop dancing around and just get real about it. the rumblings and tremors and quakes will continue until OSU Cowboys are not ranked several spots higher than the OU Sooners. Then and only then will all the dead Sooner fans stop rolling over in their graves like off-balance blenders chopping ice.
