Stupid Earth!!!

Well, when I moved to OKC(leaving the STL MO area) I thought I was done with earthquakes and such and figured I just had to deal with tornadoes around here.
Well last night will watching a movie with the woman the stupid house started moving and crap was falling every where. So we said what ever and finished our movie(didn't even pick anything up till after). After the moving we turned on the news to see what was going on only to find out we just had the new record high for an earthquake here. It was not that high but a 5.6 is enough to mess a few things up.

I have not managed to check out the shop area at all. We are heading to Amber's college in a bit to see how that place looks(all glass building with tons of items hung on the walls).

Figures, I guess I'm just bad luck around here.

Just to give everyone an idea on it has been since we moved. First there was 4 or 5 tornadoes in the OKC area in one evening followed by months upon months of 100+ degree weather(apparently not normal for here). After that there were the fires from drought(common here just not to me) and now this earthquake. Fun fun for everyone here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

MOVE BACK HOME! There should not be mid-fault earthquakes aside from 9.0+ magnitudes. That earthquake was an anomaly, and I fear what could follow.

That is an interesting news report. Nice way of saying..we have no idea why the occur or where one will occur next.

Just had a 4.7 hit a few minutes ago.

Plus several tornado warnings in the state.....this year has just been jacked up when it comes to nature.

Worst blizzard in history, hottest summer in history, most tornados in a single day record, and 4 earthquakes in 72 hours.

How big was your earthquake? Going to live in this city next year, this is a photo of an earthquake there earlier this year. Fun times.

I realize that a 5.6 or whatever pales in comparison to other areas. But this is OKLA-frickin-HOMA. We do not get earth quakes. Especially several in a few days. We are accustomed to dealing with tornadoes, not the ground moving.

Yeah don't worry wasn't trying to steal your thunder, so to speak. I guess it would be like us getting a tornado ripping **** up, no one would have a clue what to do. Just adding to the thread; stupid earth indeed. Our biggest aftershock was a 6.3, approximately 11 times the energy release of that of your 5.6. 176 RIP.

Notice all the bricks on the ground. Simple brick and mortar construction has very poor resistance to earthquake damage.

Actually, Oklahoma gets considerably more earthquakes than you might realize. Just most are not very large.
