Yosemite is about to BLOW!

I'm in OK...but too far away from the epicenter of this one to feel anything. I was reading an OU forum a few mintues ago...several posters that live in the Norman area felt the small quake.

OK has around 50-100 earthquakes a year.

We had a 4,5 here in Illinois not too long ago, 2.5-3's happen all the time.

Found it.

Interesting, watch when I get there in 3-4 years they will have "the big one" and everyone anywhere near OKC will be dead. EEK!

Yosemite is too far east.

Reno is in trouble.

Major stress has built up around that area and it's going to be a big one there.

The Geysers at Yosemite will be affected as well.

ouch batman. . .

weird shit, granted GA and SC have been known to have a quake or two, but I honestly have never felt them. The world is mad at us for thinking that a God existed, just earth's way of punching us back.

/runs from all the religious folks (it was a joke people)

That's it...I'm taking my 8 posts and blowing this joint.

Yeah it is weird. I'm probably off on the 50-100 quakes a year...but most occur sw of OKC. There's some mountains (yes mountains) near there...Wichita Mountains I believe. Really quite beautiful and seriously out of place.

Experienced a 5.4 in North Georgia 2 years ago.
The epicenter was actually just over the Georgia border in Payneville Alabama.
Just south of Cloudland Canyon.

House was on a slab on a Mountain so it was enough to jolt right out of bed.

Yeah, if I remember I heard about this one driving to school that day. Was lots of talk about it at school that day, people freaking out. Silly fools.
