Yet another Oklahoma induced seismic event.
An injection well / fracking earthquake swarm — happening inside a working operation embedded in a residential setting.
Beginning with a 4.3M quake, followed by subsequent 3.0M, 2.0M, and 1.0M earthquakes in the region (within miles of each other)… I would expect to see several more earthquakes here before all is said and done.
This has been building over the past few weeks.. see my posts leading up to this event here… especially check the post from early April called “Oklahoma taking risks”…

From a friend of mine who lives in Edmund, Oklahoma: “Just thought you might like to know that I felt this morning’s 4.3 earthquake loud and clear at 5:16 a.m.! This one was different than the extended rumbling and shaking that I felt in Nov. of 2011. This morning’s 5:16 quake felt like an explosion and shook my windows. I slept through the earlier smaller ones between 1-2 a.m.”
