Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 9/2/16

CNN and CBC online refers to it as an induced earthquake -- triggered by human activity - likely a shale gas or oil extraction project. 

Anyway -- off topic. :-)

Gotta get that Northerly flag happening.

Some cracks opened up in our ceiling drywall, but our basic house structure was undamaged (probably because we live in a rambler). Everybody was paranoid of earthquakes for about a month after that.

USGS say it was 5.6 magnitude, one of the strongest ever recorded in Oklahoma. The epicenter was about 40 miles east of me. It was felt as far away as Omaha. My niece felt in Emporia KS. Naturally it brought my listening session to abrupt end.
