Earthquake

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Surely someone else felt that shit last night right before 11!

[myoung84]

Didn't feel it. I was asleep...

[(S.M.R) 101]

I felt that shit dude.. I was sitting in a chair talking to my brother on law and it hit.. that was crazy.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I thought you were out of here already? I had just gotten into bed because I have to work today and felt something shake a little. I was just asking my wife if she felt it and the whole house started moving...freaked me out.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Nope.. I fly out at 11:20am

[OklaHemi]

earth cant shake on a plane. i felt it, it honestly sounded like a rig floor. nothing here moved, but every one is panicing like there house is leaning now. its comical

[(S.M.R) 101]

You know who they are blaming for these earthquakes don't you Mike?

Us GD oil and gas guys.... We are taking all the natural lubricants out of the earth which is causing the earthquakes....... They blame everything on us...

Dicks

[OklaHemi]

we should shut their gas and electric for a winter and see who they will blame for that. those effin hippies have no idea how bad life would suck without oil or gas. i think i saved the oil field rep on facebook.

people of facebook that was not an earthquake. it was the jenny craig charter flight making an emergency landing for tacos.


that should take care of it.

[OklaHemi]

maybe you should go on tv and tell them all to spit on the ground. because when i experience a dry feeling and lots of friction, i spit on it and that helps.

[nightmatt]

ya I felt it, wants that bad. I got up this morning and walked into my living room where my x box is and I have a set of batteries standing up on a glass table and they were still standing. so it wasnt strong enough where I am to knock a set of batteries over

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I'm not saying I thought my house was going to fall over...but for a person born and raised in Oklahoma and having NEVER felt an earthquake before that was a trip.

[Matt]

lol i'm from cali so it's just a little guy to me ... i went back last year and was there for 7 days and sure enough we had a big one .. like 7.4 if i remember right ....

while i do think that is the reason it doesn't bother me one bit .. i think that's how most people i know feel ..

[ramthis9501]

That was a first time experience and I hope it never happens again lol that was some freaky stuff

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I can see how all the drilling may affect the stability, but like Matt said, it doesn't bother me at all...especially since I haven't seen any proof or a real replacement for the resources being pumped out.

Just FYI--

There has been a lot of study of the tremors in Oklahoma over the past 10 years or so...It has been determined that the active faults (the ones shifting) are in a non productive (no oil and gas) geological zone; and as such there is no extraction or injection into these zones.

Oklahoma is historically a very active area and evidence of such can be seen from from I-35 just north of Ardmore in the Arbuckle Mountains. These mountains were created by an enormous earthquake that actually turned the earth on it's side. if you look at the stratigraphic layers they run nearly vertical as opposed to there normal horizontal orientation. Once an area becomes active, it is nearly always active at some level.

With that said, Oil and Gas production can and often does cause small earthquakes; but they are so small that they usually aren't felt and extremely localized.

^^ Amen brother amen

[Okiespaniels]

Just had another tremor here at the house about 5 mins ago. It was the forst out of three I actually felt

I'll tell ya...I grew straight hair in places I haven't had any in since puberty. and some of it is still standing while I type this!

And tornadoes too....ohhh k. Its end of the world and we know it...

[(S.M.R) 101]

2012 man..............2012

[ramthis9501]

I heard and felt a tremor earlier, these things need to quit!

[Matt]

I heard and felt a tremor earlier, these things need to quit!

why?




people are blowing these things out of proportion ... who cares if we have a couple earthquakes .. no harm no foul i don't know anyone personally that has suffered any damages so i could care less if we had them every day these aren't that strong

[(S.M.R) 101]

They are not use to having quakes big or small Mr California

Lot of people have never felt one, freaks some people out

[myoung84]

I still haven't felt one yet. I was driving when the last one happened last night...

[nightmatt]

so matt, basically u don't care cause nothing has affected u or somebody u know. but if it did u would want them to stop right? that sounds kinda dick like u don't care about other people, people have been affected by the earthquakes, houses have been messed up and 2 people were hurt not serious tho

[Matt]

no what i'm saying is that we are dealing with an anomaly that does't happen often and is very minimal risk but people are blowing it out of proportion ... i only referenced people i know bc those are the people that i'm talking about complaining ... don't complain if it's not affecting you, talking about it and having an opinion is fine but to cry and freak out and talk about the world ending is dumb... we are acting like these mild earthquakes somehow compare to the damage done by catastrophic earthquakes.. 2 people have had minor injuries and some cracks in houses .. that to ME is NOT a big deal ... it's funny we can live with mile wide tornados that kill hundreds but we freak out about an earthquake that hasn't really caused any damage

[nightmatt]

Ohh, ok I get what u mean

[nightmatt]

I do think people r freakin a bit much over it

[(S.M.R) 101]

Like stated before people are not use to that kinda stuff...... Tornadoes are a different story..

[(S.M.R) 101]

HA!

[ramthis9501]

Wow... lol

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Awesome.

[Okiespaniels]

I still haven't felt one yet. I was driving when the last one happened last night...

That's because of the roads in Oklahoma....:fuckyea:


Sheez guys some of yas need to take a chill pill. Yeah it wasn't a Tusami starting building dropper, but when you combine what we got with softball sized hail, mile wide tornadoes, drought, flash floods, and economy that doesn't allow for infrastructure repair in a state where a majority of people can't afford more than basic insurance or don't have any, it's a farkin' pain.

People complain to let off steam and reduce thier stress. Don't read it if you don't wanna see it.:Moon:

[fast_Orange]

I felt it. I was in a compromised position in the restroom and felt the room shake. First thought: train that runs next to the house? Then realized the train wasnt running that night, nor does it ever shake the house)
Then proceeded to comfort my girlfriend who went into panic mode like a chihuahua LOL
