1. I think a total of three

From what I can read..
3.0 magnitude earthquake about 4 miles SW of Chandler.

SGS reports SECOND early morning earthquake at 1:56 a.m. was a 4.3 magnitude just outside OKC near Luther.

USGS now listing a THIRD earthquake, a mag 2.8, near Boley, OK.

2. Did you feel any of them?

The 4.3 might get you out of bed.

[OKNancy]

5. In a way I guess... something woke me up at this ungodly hour

9. If it gets more intense, then you might have the perfect excuse to buy new dishes for the house.

I imagine that you broken a few in fits of rage throwing them on the floor with two Republican senators.

Take care!

16. I slept through it, but someone else in the house said they woke up for some reason

I read a report that ties fracking in Oklahoma to some of these bigger earthquakes. I know Oklahoma has earthquakes, but when the oil companies denied any connection, that pretty much confirmed for me that there's something to it. It doesn't take much imagination to see how all that water and chemicals injected under high pressure has to have some detrimental effects besides polluting the water, soil, etc.

4. Stay safe, OKNancy.

But don't worry too much. These are small quakes. I lived in SoCal for a decade. We'd experience small ones all the time. Only two were scary. One, 7.2, went on for half a minute of gentle rocking. Another, a smaller one scared the crap out of me because it was very sharp, sudden shaking.

The others were common occurrences.

Regardless, stay safe.

7. thanks.. they are far enough that there is no worries

here in Tulsa. We had an outbreak last year too. That one really rattled the house and the dishes.
It's just kind of a weird event in Oklahoma. :0

6. Think we might get some our way?

Given the crappy weather, that's all we need!

8. a 4th one...

10. Tin hat Ts think Obama gonna rip New Madrid fault & bring marshall law. No sarcasm they believe it.

[kath]

11. And another one about 3 minutes ago. felt and heard it - not nearly as intense as the one 1 1/2 yrs

Ago.
those ones are believed to have been due to the underground disposal of drilling waste water.

[OKNancy]

14. this one, I guess

US Geological Survey lists FIFTH Oklahoma earthquake a short while ago as a magnitude 4.2 near Luther.

12. I'm in a hotel room in OKC

During the first one I was just about to tie the sheets together and climb out the window. Another one woke me up this morning.
