Earthquake in Texas around 11pm central time. Shook the house and the house swam a bit lateraly, sort of like skating on ice or mud.
Seemed to be approx 4.0ish here in Wichita falls, but no media reports yet.
-
You might be feeling the one in Oklahoma.

one of my best friends just text me about this, he is in Mustang OK. :eek:
-
I was watching the news, and they were reporting about the one that hit last night (I slept threw it). Then the house started to rattle. One of the dogs took off to the bedroom without me. He doesn't do that.

USGS says it's a 5.6. that's big, if you're not use to your house shaking.
-
Second one they've felt in Texas in the last month, second one I've been in Nebraska for.

My brother is in OKC and they felt it all morning long. Had some people in my area saying we had one but the monitor dose not show it. We just felt the ones in Oklahoma.
-
5.6 centered a bit east of OK City. About 140ish miles from me. Felt fairly strong here but didn't knock any books off the shelves so no big deal here. It opened up some previously repaired drywall cracks though, very annoying since fixing them will probably require repainting the entire wall or ceiling... :bhead

Great in addition to tornado's and hurricanes we have to deal with earthquakes? And it used to be such a nice neighborhood
-
Didnt feel it here, but some of my friends on facebook were talking about it in Albany, thats about an hour and a half south of wichita falls.
-
I live in Wichita Falls to but I'm in bowie visiting family today. I was outside and the truck I was leaning against started rocking. Family that was inside the house said the whole house shooting and windows were rattling. Was rated a 5.6 making it the strongest quake EVER in Oklahoma.
-
I'm about 60 miles north of Dallas and felt nothing yet all my friends felt it around here. They said pictures fell off the wall,tables moving around,etc. Not sure how I missed it. That's like the 3rd earthquake in 24 hours in Oklahoma too. A 4.7, a 3.6, and now a 5.6.
-
Just talk to my mom who is in OKC to. They siad it shook the house and ran outside the house.

Doesn't really roll of the tounge does it?

No but it is a start.

Eh, a bit more than a coffee stirrer, but not enough to be worried about. Once it hits 6 then it gets fun.

I read on fb (almost as good of source as wiki) that USGS had upgraded it to a 5.8. Close to that 6. But the USGS page still says 5.6 so whatever. Still a strong quake for here

Possible strong tornados on Monday. You in????? :t

I read over past days about this large and active sunspot 1339 , 8 times larger than our planet , is going face the Earth for next 7-10 days . This events could be connected, coronal mass ejection must have some kind effect on earth crust.

I'm stoked. I get off work at 3:30 so I'm hoping for something big near wichita falls!

I'm hoping to get a better light show here in Texas out of this spot if we can get a earth directed solar flare.

Action maybe too far west for me, we'll see how it plays out. I'm curious about the timing though, not much on night time tornados.

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)

2012 draws near :noid
I'm beginning to wonder. I felt an earthquake for the first time in Iowa a couple years ago. My dad 67 yrs. old, never experienced before either, but he did just this year in Va.
Time to stockpile liquior,guns, and ammo .........

Felt nothing here in NE Texas... Eagl you're in or near Wichita Falls correct?

I know kirk herbstreit felt it after the game last night while he was on sportscenter. :lol

You know Yellowstone is about to blow? The magma chamber is larger than the state of Texas, and once it starts to find its cracks I bet something will have to give in.. :noid :bolt:

Yea that's no fun. Chased a night time tornado near silom springs, AR. It was pretty scary lol

And sheep

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.

:salute 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 :aok

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). :devil
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.

Oklahoma justr had a 4.7. Felt the aftershock in Wichita, kansas.

Yeah, it was a long one too. Crazy!

Im getting confused on what to watch out for now.... The earthquake we just had or the possible tornado on the way. Never a dull moment around here!

Yea, screw what the Cali have to say about their earthquakes. We have rain storms, tornados and earthquakes going on at once.

Now you do, but no..somethings up.
Have a beer.
Everything's right on time.

Felt tonight's Oklahoma aftershock down in Wichita Falls. Not much more than how a big gust of wind would sound, but the house also squirmed a bit too. My wife thought it was the wind since we've had massive thunderstorms playing chicken with the city all day.
Looks like the tstms will hit in another hour or so...
-
Has anyone else noticed an increase in the testing of the Emergency Broadcast system? Even over the cable channels im seeing one test or two every week. I think someone knows something bad is coming....
The End is Near...................
eh maybe its time to change out my tinfoil hat...its looking pretty crinkled lately

We're not really that bad a place to live, some places are a bit overpriced to live, but overall not too bad.

Canary Islands are getting active also over past days;

I dont believe in the whole 2012 thing... but all this activity in quiet places is starting to make me nervous.
I know their previously were large earthquakes in the mid-west. Maybe the big one is coming...
When the animals start freaking out in Yellow Stone then im really going to be scared.

Haven't felt a thing in Ga, its quiet beyond belief here
