EARTHQUAKE!!

[K2C Sooner]

Knocked me out of bed..

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Yep, second time those woke me from rem 5 sleep.
Well, at least we won't have a tsunami.

My guess is a 4 plus or minus a little. That one rattled the walls.

Let's all guess. I say 3.8, Medford Ok.

Fox 23 is saying Leonard, Ok. That's by Bixby, I think. Over 4.0. Knocked over cans in my pantry. My water pipes rattled for two minutes after the shake. I hope it didn't break water lines........

 

[K2C Sooner]

5.6 started near Pawnee, Ok.........

 

[Soonersincefitty]

5.6 Biggest ever in Okla. Epicenter Pawnee.
Wowsa!

 

[pssooner]

6.8 if I remember correctly

I went through a 7.5 in 1992. We were about 20 miles from the epicenter! Shook for about 2 minutes, three hours later we had a 6.6 aftershock!

The richter scale is logarithmic.
That is a 7 is TEN TIMES more powerful than a 6. FYI

I was wondering about an aftershock. Is that normal?

yea, it's pretty common

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Is it not enough with the tornados?
Oklahoma now has the distinction of currently having the most prolific seismic activity in the world...Argh!

 

[BillyRay]

I felt it all the way down here in Ft Worth.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Quakes are the schoolyard bullies of natural disasters.
Case in point.
The 9 that hit in the ocean off of Japan in 20ll actually lowered Japan buy one meter, or a little over 3 feet. Amazing. Which would account for all the sea walls being breeched by the tsunamis.
This one totally defies credulity.
It also permantly altered the earths axis by 4 inches.

That is just badass.

When it woke me up this morning at 7 am here in Lawton, I just thought it was the normal Fort Sill artillery firing. I found out it was an earthquake about an hour later.

Came in as a 7.1 originally, but was lowered later (not sure why).

I was in that earthquake, about 25 miles from
the epicenter. It rocked and rolled for quite awhile.

Shook my house in Topeka, KS.
