[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 2588909, member: 3448"] About 15 years ago I was researching more information about the New Madrid earthquake and its historical effects but learned a little about earthquakes in the process. I'm not an expert on earthquakes or geology but if I remember correctly earthquakes have always been very common in Oklahoma. The difference in recent years has been the strength. Keep in mind that the New Madrid quake centered in southeast Missouri was so strong that the Mississippi River flowed north and was felt on the east coast. It also hasn't recurred at that level for more than 200 years. An expert on a local news channel last night said that the quakes are occurring much deeper than the fracking is likely to affect. Isn't it likely we are just experiencing a natural cycle of increased strength in activity? That's not to say the potential isn't serious but only that the events are not man made. [/QUOTE]
