“Tornado bait”

Not just that...Oklahoma isn’t really known for building to code for earthquakes either. Although it’s uncommon, quakes are known in the area. From Wikapedia:

The USGS national hazard map states that the Meers fault has a recurrence interval of 4,500 years[47] but estimates range from 100,000 years to 1,300 years.[14] The fault may generate strong earthquakes in the future; earthquakes with magnitudes Mw 7.5–8 might be possible on the Meers fault and an earthquake similar to the Holocene ones would be felt over large parts of the continent, including Oklahoma and Texas, with intensities comparable to these of the 1886 Charleston earthquake and 1811–12 New Madrid earthquakes.
