I experienced that earthquake. At the time, the experts said it was not caused by fracking. There is a fault line called the Wilzetta fault near Prague.

To my recollection, the Prague area has a relatively active earthquake history -- for Oklahoma, that is.

The previous state record quake -- 5.2 magnitude -- occurred in the same area in 1952. Prior to that, there was another five-something back in the twenties. Same area.

Point being there is an extensive earthquake history in the area, going back well beyond the start of injection wells.

I experienced that earthquake.

I was in Norman during the quake. My dogs started barking followed by a loud bang and then the house shook.

Ever been in the ‘Gypsum hills’ region, east of Woodward, OK in the Cimmaron country, Canadian river area? The Gloss/Glass mountains.
They rise up out of the ground like Playdough pushed through a form and sparkle in the sun due to the gypsum crystals. Beautiful.

I’m pretty sure caveman drilling caused them. Or global warming!!!///

I felt that earthquake myself, and I happen to know several of the investigators from the University of Oklahoma. They were already looking at an increased number of small earthquakes that had been happening for a year or more prior to the bigger one, and they already were of the opinion that waste injections were causing these quakes. Never mind the fact that these waste injection wells have been in use for decades. That is nonsense as far as I believe because there is, like you said, a fault line running through that area. This event has just given the anti-fracking nuts something to run with and exploit.
