Oklahoma earthquakes

I heard about Friday's quake(s) from a friend who lives in central Oklahoma. Looks like last night's quake was a bit more powerful, a 5.6 magnitude.

Anyone here in the affected area?

5.6 magnitude quake rattles Oklahoma

Thats it....END OF DAYS!!

Not in the affected area, but my brother was up and about. He's visiting from Ca., noted the shake, went on about his business. The wife and I did not wake up. The epicenter was ~150 miles west. News reports here say some road buckling occurred, and a boulder the size of an SUV fell on one road. Some house damage from chimneys falling down, etc.

A boulder fell in Oklahoma? From where?

(sorry)

We DO have foothills here (the locals call them mountains). In fact, the Kiamichi's are the only mountain range in the country that runs E-W v. N-S.

Colorado. It fell into the panhandle ... :lol:

(sorry, Doug ...)

I must have had Oklahoma confused with Kansas.

Now that's funny!

But, when you heap on the butter and a good thick maple syrup, they become equal.

Yep, that's a Californian for you. Magnitude 5.6 would make one pause from drinking his/her coffee for a moment while waiting to see if this was The Big One, then shrug it off and go right back to reading the morning paper.
