It’s climate change caused by fracking the whales.
Earthquakes Skyrocket Making Oklahoma Residents Nervous

Maybe oil is in the ground for a purpose other than powering automobiles...
In your opinion, do you attribute the increased number of earthquakes to any Fracking done in the area? That’s what some are beginning to say.
Alful close to Yellowstone....
Luke 21:11 (ESV)
11 There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
Where the earth’s magnetic field goes, so does the outer core (mostly iron, under the mantle). The fun might increase in speed and magnitude, when magnetic north is about 25 degrees latitude. It’s difficult to tell where magnetic north is from here on, though. The NOAA recently revised data (to show more consistency and less increase in speed of magnetic north movement toward Russia) that was previously collected, and magnetic north is harder to find with the field weakening (due to the ongoing movement).
Back after the Oklahoma City bombings, UFO/conspiracy theory extremists claimed the initial reporters on the scene were focused on an underground tunnel complex exposed by the blast, which then ushered in about 20 other Illuminati/Bilderberger/NWO/UFO/alien/you name it CTs.
Of course, if they exist and were being extended, they might nicely explain the continuing seismic activity in the area,...at least moreso than fracking, although both are probably off by several orders of magnitude in observable energy release in the seismic activity.
Maybe magma is creeping up through the crust right under OK! Imagine a volcano there!
We have been experiencing numerous swarms of quakes in Southern OR/ Northern NV. All activity is about the same intensity of the central OK quakes. This has been the most active spot on the planet multiple times over the past few months. No fracking here, probably just basin and range divergent plate movement. Hoping these little guys take the tension out of the earth and are not signs of a major one to come.
I’m glad it’s not connected to yellowstone, but it has been 40 years since roe, so hang on!
A few years ago, over 2500 were recorded in my neighborhood, the largest threw a large tv half way across the room. Our house is filled with stress cracks and such. There’s no cracking on my mountain.
If you look at the depth of these earthquakes, you’ll see that they are MILES below any drilling or fracking we could ever do.
Earthquakes are going to get more and more frequent. God said so.
If it is fracking, why aren’t these same earthquake spikes happening everywhere fracking is taking place?
Hundreds of little quakes are better than one BIG quake.
I've lived in OKC all of my 55 years. We bought earthquake insurance a couple of years after we had a pretty big quake that really shook things. If you own your home outright, you can't afford to not have earthquake insurance. $100 per year.
But yeah.... earthquakes in Oklahoma are a relatively new experience.
Rare Earthquake Warning Issued for Oklahoma
http://www.livescience.com/45361-oklahoma-earthquake-risk-rising.html
Mile for mile, there are almost as many earthquakes rattling Oklahoma as California this year. This major increase in seismic shaking led to a rare earthquake warning today (May 5) from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Oklahoma Geological Survey.
In a joint statement, the agencies said the risk of a damaging earthquake — one larger than magnitude 5.0 — has significantly increased in central Oklahoma.
Geologists don’t know when or where the state’s next big earthquake will strike, nor will they put a number on the increased risk. “We haven’t seen this before in Oklahoma, so we had some concerns about putting a specific number on the chances of it,” Robert Williams, a research geophysicist with the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program in Golden, Colorado, told Live Science. “But we know from other cases around the world that if you have an increasing number of small earthquakes, the chances of a larger one will go up.”
Oklahoma Grapples With Earthquake Spike—And Evidence of Industry’s Role

Customers who stop by Mike Kahn’s insurance agency in Oklahoma City are increasingly looking to buy a policy that was unheard of a decade ago: earthquake insurance.
Kahn, who opened the Lynnae Insurance Group in 2002, said he sold earthquake coverage to two homeowners during the first decade he was in business. During the past six months, he sold more than 125 policies.
“We used to get to that part of the policy, and I’d tell customers, ‘You don’t need that. This is Oklahoma,’” Kahn said, referring to the days when earthquake coverage was an add-on to a homeowner policy. “We used to laugh about it.”
But much has changed in Oklahoma, which leads the continental United States in earthquakes so far this year. From 1978 to 2008, Oklahoma experienced an average of one earthquake a year of magnitude 3 and higher, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. As of last week, the state experienced 258 earthquakes in that range, almost twice as many as California.
