...OK used to have very few earthquakes per year but that’s all changed now. Last year they had 222 quakes that were felt and made shelves rattle and this year, thus far, they’ve had an astounding 253 quakes and we aren’t even 6 months into 2014. So OK is having record seismic activity now. What’s causing all the motion?...
