This one was a sharp thump that made the couch jump followed by 5-10 secs of rattling. The last big one started off like it was rolling in followed by 10-20 secs of rattling.

It was heard and felt at the Bedlam game, too. My wife tells me there was no report of it during the game broadcast, unlike the Herbstreit incident of a couple years back.

The research I cited was from the USGS and the Army, here's something newer from the USGS,

Man-Made Earthquakes Update

Although it may seem like science fiction, man-made earthquakes have been a reality for decades. It has long been understood that earthquakes can be induced by impoundment of water in reservoirs, surface and underground mining, withdrawal of fluids and gas from the subsurface, and injection of fluids into underground formations...

That is what my second link was about and why I said we have a triple threat here. All are factors but most recent ones have been located closer to lakes and reservoirs. Especially almost all the quakes in the Edmond, Jones area have been located close to lake Arcadia.

Maybe there's a combination of things,:anyone:

This and then a loud crack, that would be my foundation from one end of the house to the other. The suck o meter just pegged.

Probably, but drilling activity isn't one of them. Not a lot of wells around this area. Compared to SW Texas, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, North Dakota, and on and on for the last 5-10 years there ain't squat for drilling going on. You don't hear about earthquake swarms inundating those areas of drastically higher drilling activity now do you? Keep looking, drilling ain't it. Just another way to put a jackboot on the throat of the economy by the libtards.

The Army was the first to link injection wells to seismic activity, they're libtards?

Not a lot of wells in this area?

More than 10,000 underground injection wells were active in Oklahoma as of January 2013,


http://stateimpact.npr.org/oklahoma/tag/earthquakes/


And while it's still not conclusive there has been a reported increase in seismic activity in all the areas you mentioned.


Since records began in 1776, Youngstown, Ohio had never been shaken by an earthquake, until the Northstar 1 deep injection well was built to pump wastewater produced by fracking in Pennsylvania.

In December 2010 the Northstar 1 came online, and in the year that followed 109 seismic events were recorded at Youngstown.

"The earthquakes were centered in subsurface faults near the injection well," said Dr. Won-Young Kim. "These shocks were likely due to the increase in pressure from the deep waste water injection which caused the existing fault to slip."

Waste fluid generated during shale gas production, or hydraulic fracturing, is pumped underground by the deep injection well.

Researchers found that the onset, cessation, and dips in seismic activity correlated to activity at the Northstar 1 well. Their findings are published in Geophysical Research-Solid Earth.

The first earthquake recorded in the city occurred 13 days after pumping began, and tremors ceased shortly after the Ohio Department of Natural Resources shut down the well in December 2011.

Earthquake magnitude of 3.3 recorded south of Williston

Some might contend the salt mine collapse and giant sinkhole in Louisiana could have been seismically induced by more quakes happening on the Texas Louisiana border.
