I was sitting here drinking coffee and the whole house jolted pretty good. It sent the cats growling and running around the house. After the jolt, you could feel the bump-bump-bump-bump of the earth getting softer and softer. That was about the 3rd most powerful one I've felt in my house.

Senior Sooner, report it here if you felt it.

Thanks for the Link, 22...I did report it!

Previous Incidents had more interior noises...This one, seemed to be exterior sounds, a Thud, like an elephant had fallen, then like squirrels running across the roof, and those tremors just went on and on...

BOOMER!...(Literally)

Oklahoma has had no less than 10 earthquakes today. 7 since 5:00 pm. 2 of them today were strong enough to shake the house. What the heck is going on?

If Oklahoma falls off into the Gulf, we'll have to take Texas with us. ;)

This is totally out of my paygrade.
I hear people say it's the fracking?

But haven't they been doing that, the same way for 90 years?
Just asking...

There hasn't been any fracking in months. Drilling, but not fracking. Those holes will be fracked when the price goes up. Now the theory is injection wells.
