Wake Up!

5.2 earthquake shakin' up the Willy House, tonight!
There was a 4.7 east of OKC at 2am.
and 2 aftershocks from that quake in the 30 min that followed.

Thoughts:
-it is NUTS how far away from the epicenter earthquakes in the midwest and south can be felt.
-earthquakes here sound and feel like there's a large semi rattling by outside your front door. They last a long time, but the shaking really is just shaking, rather than the big rolling waves you get from Ca quakes.
-4 earthquakes in less than 24 hours? Are these weather guys sure about it being 2 quakes and 2 after shocks? Sort of feels like "pre"shocks to break up tension behind something bigger, if you ask me.

I don't think these are on a fault line. I think it's fracking the gas companies are doing, like they were in Conway.

People on FB are saying it was felt in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Crazy!
