Experts say it’s only a matter of time before the “big one” shakes Oklahoma

http://kfor.com/2015/11/23/only-a-matter-of-time-before-the-big-one-shakes-oklahoma/

Oklahoma is no longer known as the state where the wind comes sweeping down the plains. Now, the Sooner State also leads the world in seismic activity.

This year, more than 5, 000 earthquakes have been recorded and studied in our state. Residents have become accustomed to the little shaking, rattling and rolling....

Now, research said it's only a matter of time before we get a big one that will change life for those of us living here....

"Underneath any of these urban areas, whether it's Stillwater, Cushing, Oklahoma City, Guthrie, these cities are not built to seismic standards. They're not in L.A." Halihan said.

I neither expect OK to do anything preventive, nor to admit the cause when it happens, nor place the blame where it lies.
