Monday afternoon we were just hangin with Mom when this happened.
It felt similar to being in a small car and getting passed by a semi except that the windows rattled. You know how it kind of moves you a bit.
We immediately jumped to the floor, looked around, and barked.
Although we are over 100 miles from the epicenter, we definitely felt the 4.5 tremor of the earth. All is well though. ~ Indy and Lucy

That is scary–we have had a few small tremors up our way, but they were more like, “did I feel that?”–not the kind that you could really “feel the earth move under my feet”. You have really had the gambit of odd weather–lots of snow, frequent tornados, now earthquake–what will be next? Stay alert, patrol and keep your family safe~~Piper and Skye

what is causing it? Oil drilling?

We had 3 yesterday. Another one happened after I posted this. All 3 were from the same location. They were closer to Anna; I bet she really felt them. Oil, natural gas…a lot of underground resources in OK.

“A month of Sundays”, Mama said. They have more bad-boy weather than we do in a month of Sundays. (Sometimes she gets wound up about stuff – we just BOL). XXOO Lulu Belle

Ainsley, Mama sez you have an interesting question. What do you think Indy & Lucy?

Fracking or the disposal of the wastewater into injection wells definitely contribute. It increased from less than two a year to 585 quakes last year. However, the state of OK is slowly coming out of denial about it. Think Appalachia and coal.

How can the people not see that Fracking is reason for this. I feel so very sorry for all the animals.

Indy & Lucy, you did exactly the right thing by getting on the floor & barking. I live on 2 faults here in So Cal & have experienced many earthquakes in the 54 years I have live out here & I have NEVER gotten used to them. They still scare the dickens out of me. Stay safe over there.

Oh boy, sounds like you are experiencing what we do often! The last one a year ago had its epicenter just 4 miles from us. It was only a 4.5, but for us nearly on top of it, they said it was like a 7 point for us. You should have seen our house–everything on the floor. A lot of the brick chimneys in our neighborhood fell! Ours just got a crack, but we still had to get it fixed and retrofitted. We were so scared that mom and dad couldn’t find where we hid! There were aftershocks for days that we could sense with our superior dog radar, so we had a hard time sleeping! We also kept mom and dad awake because we kept pacing up and down the bed and then jumped off the bed and scattered trying to find places to hide. We could hear the aftershocks coming and we had bunches of them, some harder than others.
We normally get them, but you guys are getting them now from all of the fracking! They are not fun. We’ve had some bad ones living in California! We sympathize with you!
Love,
Riley-Puppy and Tessie-Girl

That is too scary. At least we get a lot of warning before a hurricane. Stay safe friends!
