Anyone feel any of these? I suspect at at least three were caused by collective sighs of 85,000 people on Saturday night in Norman.


6 small earthquakes shake parts of Oklahoma

Sep 5 08:08 PM US/Eastern

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - For the second time in less than a week, six small earthquakes have been recorded in a single day in central Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Geological Survey said the six earthquakes on Saturday ranged from preliminary magnitudes of 1.5 to 3.3.

On Wednesday in the same area about 30 miles from Oklahoma City, geologists also recorded six earthquakes that ranged from a preliminary 1.8 magnitude to 3.1. Another quake with a preliminary magnitude of 2.7 was recorded Friday about 10 miles east of the Saturday temblors.

No injuries or damage was reported from any of the earthquakes.

Quakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3 are generally the smallest felt by people.

I'm pretty sure they were caused by all 10 poke fans jumping when they scored.

Have you ever had your washing machine get out of balance during the spin cycle? That's what those >3.0 tremblers felt like when we lived in No. Cali.

A guy I work with was in San Fran back when the World Series quake hit. He was on a sidewalk yet said it felt like standing on a boat-dock. Very bizarre.

I've only felt one earthquake in Bangkok. I was in a high rise building and it was swaying and the hanging blinds were slapping the windows. It was definitely not a comfortable feeling. I read in the newspaper the next day that there was a large earthquake with the epicenter in Burma and it was felt throughout the region. No more, please. I highly doubt that Bangkok's building codes are up to standard for earthquakes.
