I really don't know much about the subject of fracking and earthquakes. My question is, is oklahoma the only place that fracks? If there are other places that do and they haven't seen earthquakes or a rise in them, then why do we assume that our earthquakes are a result of it?

I'm a skeptic of the disposal wells cause earthquakes theory, but even I can acknowledge that other areas that have disposal wells, but less quakes, might be different because they aren't doing it on top of faults.

If we are going to compare area A to B in terms of wells to quake activity, then you also have to compare the geology.

This morning we had a bottle of vodka fall off the top of the fridge and break. This is the real deal, significant damage.

This is what it looks like in Edmond
