Not sure 5.6 is "the big one" but older buildings would definitely be at risk.

There is supposedly a huge pool of magma under the State of Kansas, 200 miles X 300 miles in size. Perhaps this is contributing to the earthquakes.

Is there any evidence for a large quake there in the past? I’ve seen the fault line maps, and there doesn’t look to be any recent geologic features associated with it.

Yeah, right after they are all burned to a crisp like the other set of experts says.

I was there during the 5.6. Shook the house for 30 seconds. It was fun.

Then hurry over to Meers and grab a Longhorn Burger before the restaurant is swallowed up by the erf.

New Madrid, San Andreas, and then you've got a super volcano under Yellowstone. Shit, I'm worried about surviving 0bama.

There is a major buried fault system running from around OKC to Kansas called the Nehama Ridge or Uplift. It is probably the source of the earthquakes.

Here is a cross section view. It comes within a few thousand feet of the surface.

They are injecting frac water into the Arbuckle Formation, which you can see on the bottom left side of the cross section.
