    I was sitting at my desk this morning and felt an odd rumble as the house shook for a bit.  I live near the highway so thought perhaps it was a semi or something lol, but the shaking seemed oddly, far too "solid" and prounounced for that.  So just as a side thought I looked at the time on my monitor and remembered it... 9:28  just in case there was actually an earthquake at that time which would be mentioned in the news later.


Two quakes shake Oklahoma County; one is strongest in 12 years

Could what I have felt actually have been one of those earthquakes?  Did anyone else feel it?

Yes. FOTD thinks you're shaky.

That was the earthquake you felt. A few of us at work felt the main one around 9:19 am.

4.0 in Oklahoma county.

I didn't feel it but the earthquake was expected. We made a pact with the devil or something afterall.
Someone get Hoss a pacifier.

Me neither at 26th & Yale.  Earthquakes in OK seem to be localized in central OK.

Maybe this is the answer to all the earthquakes happening in the OKC area.   http://ornerybastard.blogspot.com/2010/04/apparently-sluts-cause-earthquakes.html



Quote"Many women who dress inappropriately ... cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes," Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi told worshipers at overnight prayers in Tehran.

Silly me...I thought earthquakes were caused by the movement of tectonic plates and the sudden release of energy from pressure and stress built up along fault lines. Turns out they're caused by Iranian sluts in tight coats and flimsy headscarves and layers of skilfully applied makeup. Who knew? I stand corrected.

"Calamities are the result of people's deeds," he was quoted as saying by reformist Aftab-e Yazd newspaper. "We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers."

Well there ya go. It's just that easy. Why didn't somebody tell me before? I'm off to the dollar store for a checkered table cloth and a couple o' bungee cords to wrap around my head. No, wait...Islam doesn't allow alcohol so love that. How 'bout we compromise and I declare Jihad on a six pack of beer?
So OKC is inhabited with too many floozys who dress provocatively.   So that is the problem over there.

Sally Kern's "rampant lesbians" had to go live somewhere when they got out of those public schools...

And here I thought all Jone's little earthquakes were caused by Hydraulic Fracturing.
