Another quake?

Yep, felt it near Sand Springs. It was pretty mild compared to some we've been through, but it shook the house enough to wake me up.

11:26 here in Park Hill/Lake Tenkiller. Only lasted a couple of seconds but shook pretty good.

Is it? Note that I am not arguing against fracking. The issue is that there's no better way to dispose of the used water and it seems to be connected to manmade earthquakes.

if you overlay a map of fracking wells in Oklahoma on a map of quakes in the past, say, 5 years, you’ll find a remarkable correlation between the two distributions. Now, correlation is not necessarily causation, but it still makes one think.

Anybody check to see if Governor Newsomes’ mansion is OK atop the San Andreas fault? Is he worried about the next big quake?

Sitting here watching Bull on TV. I heard the usual low rumble but I thought since it was supposed to storm and I had heard some thunder about 20 minutes before it was possibly thunder. I had seen the radar on my phone of the green and yellow storms approaching so it was logical. Then the rumbling got more intense and instead of the house vibrating like it does with thunder, it freaking shook! I mean I could feel the house shaking east and west. It was a minuscule amount of movement but it was perceptible. I went to the USGS earthquake site to find it on the map which did not have it posted. While I was in the process of reporting it, the 5.1 magnitude popped up NW of Prague.

That's what I thought too at first, but then the bed started shaking.

Felt it in NW OKC/Yukon

We slept through it. Nothing seems disturbed or out of place. Our neighborhood network on social media are all reporting it.

We slept through it here in BA/Tulsa. Our neighbors are all talking about it on social media.

Not posting to argue hydraulic frac’ing, because 100s of thousands of bbls of frac water are indeed injected downhole during a horizontal completion. But…you do understand that once that load is recovered, the well continues to produce formation water typically for the life of the well. That water is typically injected back downhole in a lower formation too.
Point is, regardless of “big frac jobs” water is going to be produced and injected.
You want fossil fuels for your daily life, you’re going to have water as a by-product - always have.

Felt it in Piedmont, my first thought was earthquake but then figured it was thunder, just now realizing it was a quake.
