Earthquake in Oklahoma on Sunday

1 Attachment(s)

My mom calls to chat this evening and tells me there was an earthquake on Sunday night that woke her up (she sleeps very sound). She said there was a loud boom and that the house shook. So, I go to the USGS website and find out the epicenter of the 2.6 earthquake is within a mile of her house! (see attached map. red square = epicenter, purple square= mom's house. the grid on the USGS map is 1 mile squares). My stepdad said he felt several aftershocks the last two days. AND I saw there was another 2.7 earthquake in August very nearby.

I lived in the area for 25 years and never felt anything. Now there are all these small earthquakes. We must be near the end of the world!

I didn't think you could feel less than a 3.0 much less hear it. Was there a gas main explosion or something?

Glad they're ok.

There are tons of fault lines that run thru the entire area. I'm not surprised.

I think it was all a publicity stunt for 2012. ;)
