Felt them both clearly here in Tulsa, first earthquake I've 4ever felt.  very strange...

It can mean only one thing its 752 and OU still sucks

I was just browsing NOAA, severe thunderstorms and possible  tornado today in OK;
http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full.php
You guys have some kind of national emergency broadcast test Wednesday Nov 9th ,at 2 PM,ET;it's posted on top of this page.http://www.weather.gov/
 All respect for NOAA and FEMA, at least they are doing something to prepare and warn peoples for emergencies.We had some tornadoes here in Ontario ,Canada this summer and were reported only after hours or the 2nd day.

I talked to my son-in-law yesterday, the quakes knocked most of their pictures off the walls in Edmond, OK.

  i live sw of prague ok, in shawnee area. the ground rummbles for about 30 to 45 seconds maybe longer but nomore than a minuet. house raddled nothing fell or anything. got a few cracks in the outside walls. i know we have a gent in chandler and jenks, enid too me thinks. i used to live in california, in 1971 i slept though that one hit la area, lol my mom and dad said they couldent woke me up then the quake stoped and when i woke up i wonder why they didnt get me up for school. i remember the after shocks, and we live by a crap cant remember what they are called but yall probly seen them in the movies very large water desposal ways, they are very deep, anyway i lives a block away from one. so my friends and i looked into that thing and the water was 2 to 3 feet from the top and rushing very fast.

oh ou dont stink they beat texas

I live near 7 rock quarries. I have an earthquake every afternoon when they blast a shot on the pit walls.

My momma taught me if I can't say anything nice, then just shadup (that, and in your case, offer to get them a fresh pair of pants).   


A 4.0, was that all?  I've had more violent farts wake me up in bed at night after eating chilli for dinner, sometimes with that swimming feeling, but most of the time without.

A 6 actually has almost twice the strength of a 5.8, using this handy equation for comparing scores on the richter scale

((10**1.5)**6)/((10**1.5)**5.8)

Don't know what math you're using to substantiate that, but I was taught a 5.9 IS at least twice as strong as a 5.8, thus the 6.0 in your example is at the least 4-times stronger than a 5.8.

tbh the richter scale is somewhat useless going by what happened here. What seems to matter is ground acceleration.

The Chch earthquake last year was a 7.1, the one this year was a 6.3. But this years one exerted massive PGA's... it seems PGA is the way to best measure how bad a quake is....

The quake was a "strike-slip event with oblique motion"—mostly horizontal movement with some vertical movement—with reverse thrust (i.e. vertical movement upwards).The vertical acceleration was far greater than the horizontal acceleration. The intensity felt in Christchurch was MM VIII. The peak ground acceleration (PGA) in central Christchurch exceeded 1.8g (i.e. 1.8 times the acceleration of gravity),[31] with the highest recording 2.2g, at Heathcote Valley Primary School,[3] a shaking intensity equivalent to MM X+.[32] This is the highest PGA ever recorded in New Zealand; the highest reading during the September 2010 event was 1.26g, recorded near Darfield.[31] The PGA is also one of the greatest ever ground accelerations recorded in the world,[33] and was unusually high for a 6.3 quake.[17] and the highest in a vertical direction.[34] The central business district (CBD) experienced PGAs in the range of 0.574 and 0.802 g.[35] In contrast, the 7.0 Mw 2010 Haiti earthquake had an estimated PGA of 0.5g.[33] The acceleration occurred mainly in a vertical direction,[29] with eyewitness accounts of people being tossed into the air.[33] The upwards (positive acceleration) was greater than the downwards, which had a maximum recording of 0.9g; the maximum recorded horizontal acceleration was 1.7g[34] The force of the quake was "statistically unlikely" to occur more than once in 1000 years, according to one seismic engineer, with a PGA greater than many modern buildings were designed to withstand.[36] New Zealand building codes require a building with a 50-year design life to withstand predicted loads of a 500-year event; initial reports by GNS Science suggest ground motion "considerably exceeded even 2500-year design motions",[37] beyond maximum considered events (MCE).[38] By comparison, the 2010 quake—in which damage was predominantly to pre-1970s buildings—exerted 65% of the design loading on buildings.[36] The acceleration experienced in February 2011 would "totally flatten" most world cities, causing massive loss of life; in Christchurch, New Zealand's stringent building codes limited the disaster.[15] However, the most severe shaking lasted only 12 seconds, which perhaps prevented more extensive damage.
