GUTHRIE, Okla. – The earthquakes come nearly every day now, cracking drywall, popping floor tiles and rattling kitchen cabinets. On Monday, three quakes hit this historic land-rush town in 24 hours, booming and rumbling like the end of the world.
“After a while, you can’t even tell what’s a pre-shock or an after-shock. The ground just keeps moving,” said Jason Murphey, 37, a Web developer who represents Guthrie in the state legislature. “People are so frustrated and scared. They want to know the state is doing something.”
What to do about the plague of earthquakes is, however, very much an open question in Oklahoma. Last year, 567 quakes of at least 3.0 magnitude rocked a swath of counties from the state capital to the Kansas line, alarming a populace long accustomed to fewer than two quakes a year.

Wake up Sooners - It's Global Warming!
Now the anti drilling and fracking bunch are looking like geniuses.
People are beginning to realize these liberals, aside from being Communists and sympathizers, are just plain stupid with political correctness, lies and deceit.
No one wants to join the party of stupid.
So they drill down 5000 feet and it causes an earthquake to occur at 10 miles down.
Buahahahahahahahahahah!
"Now the anti drilling and fracking bunch are looking like geniuses."
That's because we are. Most people were too stupid to research the facts themselves and relied on the MSM to feed them the (un)truth.
4:7 quit acting like a sheeple. Obvious you did not read the article or you may have taken note that:
"Oklahoma has about 3,300 active disposal wells, pumping more than 2 billion barrels of toxic brine a year into a vast network of faults buried under the red-dirt prairie."
