It's confusing, really. I mean the earth is quaking, the wind is rumbling......do you go outside to escape the earthquake, or go to the center of the house or basement? This shiat's wierd.

/had another 3. something earthquake this morning.

If the earthquake's magnitude is 5 or less, you should be safe in your home. As for the tornadoes, the basement's the best option.

They don't have basements in Oklahoma. Water table's too high.

If you just cut the legs shorter you can fix that.

You don't leave a house during an earthquake. You get under a sturdy object. If an earthquake is violent enough to destroy your house it's also violent enough to fark you up if you're trying to run around while the earth, and debris, is beboppin around under your feet

I am curious where all the conservative outrage is for the immoral lifestyle this area has been partaking in that has caused God's wraith to strike it, like what was mentioned when the east coast was rocked.

It was odd to feel an earthquake in the middle of a thunderstorm. I missed most of the others because I was drunk. Still not as weird as the tumbleweed storms in SW Kansas.

Umm...actually there is a tornado's this time of year are not unusual. Don't happen real often and they generally aren't as strong.

Earthquakes now, that is end of times stuff to be sure.

What's really bad about all the earthquakes is that now, every time my husband rolls over in bed I wake up thinking we're having another one.

I'm not scared or anything, just don't want to miss out on the fun.

You're probably right. I was stationed at Altus AFB in the far SW corner of the state, where I recall tornadoes only during the spring. No earthquakes at all, though...for sure! :)

I guess that that depends on the building codes of where you're at. I was reading the newspaper this morning (a strange happenstance, as I haven't used dead-tree news in years), and there were remarks about and photos of severe damage to homes and buildings, with several outright collapses to smaller structures. (From a 5.6 and 4.7, no less.) From what I was seeing/hearing from people, it looks like the brick stuff had a tendency to crumble, but the big gov't buildings (and my room) on-post completely shrugged it off. Though it seems that tornadoes did more direct damage to anything that they hit, while the quake damage was more area-of-effect. *Shrug.* That's just what I noticed, and I'm about an hour and a half away from the quake epicenter and just outside of the tornado damage area.

No matter how you cut it, though, it's already shaping up to be a bad winter, and I really REALLY hope that I'm wrong. Not for me, for everyone else. :(

Fall can be tornado season too. The weather is changing from warm to cold and its those temp differences that are a big part of spawning storms that cause tornados. In 1994 or 1995 on Veteran's Day, I was living just up the road in Springfield MO. It was 70 degrees that morning. A front came through that spawned tornados that damaged a boat factory in Lebanon. It then snowed two inches on the debris of the factory.

My aunt thinks we're under God's judgment ... on just general principles, I guess. I didn't feel the earthquake so much as hear it. Didn't seem like a big deal.

bbush54321: Oklahoma State University is a contender for the BCS Championship...Could this be hastening the End Times?

I missed the "big one" Saturday night because it came toward the end of the OSU/Kansas State game. I don't think any of us in the stands knew anything had happened.

It's Big Oil's fault. And there's zero outrage for that

That's the conspiracy theory that's going around -- something about someone started a seismic survey of the area the day before all this shiat started and it's now causing these events. Or they're doing some fracking in natural gas wells -- I've heard that too. I haven't done any serious research into the claims, though I have enough connections in the oil and gas production world here that I could probably find out with a couple of phone calls.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as they stay away from the Meers fault, we're good.

When we had the first one -- the 4.7 at 2:15am last Friday morning -- my wife thought I had just farted. I was sitting straight up in bed because I knew what was happening (and, to be fair, I had just gone to bed a few minutes before) and everything in our bedroom was shaking -- which, to be fair, is not too far from the aftermath of one of my mid-night gas attacks.

It took her a second to realize that stuff was still shaking long after it should have stopped.

Actually, there was a 4.7 quake during the Monday storms. I was in a thunderstorm with hail *and* a tornado watch when the rumbler occurred. Hailnadoquake.

green4mice: I always thought it was due to the frost line for footings/foundations (and cost)

from another forum:

"There's a rational explanation for the typical lack of basements in the South and there prevalence in the North. The further North you go, the deeper the building codes require you to excavate to place a home's footing below the frost line. If you're excavating 3-4' already, plus placing the house 2' out of the ground, it's foolish to not dig an extra foot or so and just create a basement. In the South, the codes may only require footings to be 1-2' deep, and therefore the addition of a basement would require much more excavation (and therefore cost) beyond what's required."
