Oral was dead when they buried him, wasn't he?  ;)

Watch Herbstreit's face at :11.  Looks like he took a dump!

Wow, just wow.  Lasted at least 30 seconds here in midtown.  FOX23 reported 5.2  (the record is 5.5)

Well, at least we are absolutely certain it's not hydraulic fracturing.....  ;)

Interesting paper from the USGS on this very subject from the first of the year in Elmore City south of OKC.

Absolutely hilarious.

I just had somebody text me that a roof caved in on a house at 171st and Garnett. They said that nobody was injured.

I live in midtown and didn't A) feel any of the quakes and B) didn't have any sort of "damage" i.e. picture frames crooked, items moved around on shelves, etc. My neighbor texts me "did you feel that?" and I didn't know what they were talking about...

Did you have anything to drink last night? Because I can't imagine anyone not feeling that.

Maybe if you were a sound sleeper and lived on an at-grade slab on the first floor.  I live on pier and beam and was on the phone with my brother (who lives in BA on at-grade) and he told me he likely wouldn't have know it was happening had he not been out in the garage while on the phone with me.  I also live close to the airport, so glass-rattling jets do come by occasionally.  But this was completely different.  Watched my computer monitor rocking, then heard the rumble and felt the floor 'rolling'.  A little unnerving, actually.

Earlier in the day at the OU game.   :)

We got home around 10 pm and watched the end of OSU-KSU.  Didn't feel a thing.  Our house is a 1924 one story bungalow in Swan Lake.  We were at a friend's house in Nichols Hills Friday night and didn't feel it there either but we were sleeping at the time.  I did feel the one in October last year though.

I told my wife I wish I had been awake during the previous quake.  My wish was granted. My dog starting barking moments before it hit and I got up to see what she was barking at. She felt the quake early.

It was a shaker rather than a roller. No damage, but it sure makes you feel small.

I never feel small.

Dang it ! I did have one to many beers on Saturday. I was awake when the little one hit at 2:13 A.M. It sounded like someone staggered into the hall wall. Nothing that big. But my boy's tell me that their beds shook for about 30 seconds Saturday night when the 11:00 oclock one hit. I was passed smooth out. To many damn good football games on Saturday. Thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

Just fly another good sized one.

Yep, not as big as Saturday night, but I was sitting on my den floor and definitely felt it...

AquaMan

Another one just a few minutes ago. Is this going to be an every other day thing now? This one wasn't a hard shake, more like my son was jumping up and down upstairs.

It was a 4.7. Nowhere near like Saturday night.
