Morphine Prince 109,682 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (CNN) - A 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck Saturday morning near Pawnee, Oklahoma, and rattled through at least six surrounding states in the US heartland, according to the US Geological Survey. The earthquake was also felt in Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Nebraska, and Iowa, according to the USGS. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission, a regulatory agency that examines the state's fuel, oil, gas, public utilities and transportation industries, is "reviewing disposal wells in the vicinity of the earthquake near Pawnee," Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said via Twitter. There have been a total of 11 earthquakes in the same area Saturday, the USGS said. The largest was at 7:02 a.m. (8:02 a.m. ET), with the preliminary 5.6 magnitude. The other quake magnitudes ranged from 2.7 to 3.6. A recent report released by the USGS showed that people in parts of Texas and Oklahoma now face similar ground-shaking risks from human-induced activity, such as fluid injection or extraction, as residents face from natural earthquakes in California. The agency outlined the risk of these so-called "induced" earthquakes, noting that Oklahoma City and the surrounding region face a 5 to 12% chance of damage from an earthquake in 2016. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission "is working to get firmer data" to pinpoint the epicenter of the quake, said commission spokesman Matt Skinner. Skinner said earthquakes in Oklahoma are generally not caused by fracking, but rather by pressure from the disposal wells.

Edonis 28,974 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 But no seriously, that's scary. I have friends and family in some of those states. Earthquakes always frighten me because unlike other natural disasters, you can't really do anything besides prepare prior to the event Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
