[font face=Serif][font size=5]Series of earthquakes shakes Oklahoma[/font]

By Marian Smith, Staff Writer, NBC News

[font size=3]A magnitude-4.3 earthquake shook Oklahoma early Tuesday, the United States Geological Survey reported.

The quake struck at 12:56 a.m. local time (1:56 a.m. ET) around 30 miles northeast of Oklahoma City. It was measured at a depth of 3.1 miles, the USGS said.

A small earthquake of magnitude 3.0 preceded the temblor, and two small tremors with magnitudes of 2.8 and 3.3 rattled nearby within 20 minutes of the initial quake.

According to the USGS, the people in the surrounding areas would have felt light to moderate shaking.

[font size=3]OKLAHOMA CITY -

Several earthquakes shook central Oklahoma in the early morning hours of Tuesday, including one that hit while News 9 was on the air.

News 9 received hundreds of phone calls, emails, Facebook and Twitter messages soon after the first earthquake hit.

The first quake was reported around 1:45 a.m. about three miles west of Chandler. The United State Geological Survey says it had a magnitude of 3.0.

…

At 5:16 a.m., a fifth earthquake measuring 4.2 was recorded four miles east northeast of Luther. This one struck while News 9 Meteorologist Jed Castles was on the air sharing the forecast, but he was so focused Stan Miller and Bobbie Miller had to interrupt him and point out the lights in the studio were swinging because of the latest earthquake.

OK, I’m impressed. Oklahoma used to average about 50 quakes a year.

http://www.ogs.ou.edu/level2-earthquakes.php

…

On average there are about 50 measurable earthquakes each year in Oklahoma with only a few of these having shaking strong enough to be felt. A total of 43 felt earthquakes in 2009 made this an exceptional year for seismic activity in Oklahoma. Twenty-seven of the felt earthquakes occurred in Oklahoma County, and another 7 were located in Lincoln County.

3. How many injection/Fracking wells are near?

[FogerRox]

5. Researching that, but its late, will finish Wed. I have an interactive map of wells

But the User interface is goofy, but I do know there wells within 1-2 miles, dont know if they're injection wells. yet.
