There was another thread there blaming it all on frakking:

OMG we just had an earthquake. In KANSAS!!
I felt a shake and I thought my dog was scratching. Looked over and she was sound asleep. Took me a minute to realize what was going on.

DH was at the store sitting in his car and felt it move. He thought it was the wind then he realized there was no wind and the car next to him was shaking too.

A friend in south central KS - about 250 miles from me - just emailed to tell us his house shook HARD.

Shit. This is creepy.

Post by: MrsSmith on November 06, 2011, 06:24:24 AM: I felt the one about 10:30 last night, the biggest one. The windows were all rattling, but that was about it. We're probably halfway between the location of the quake and Kansas City. It was a little weird, I've never felt one before. It definitely didn't feel "like a dog scratching." :rotf:

That ain't SHIT! About the equivalent of someone setting off 500 tons of TNT.

Rattles the windows, makes a few cracks in basement walls, makes DUmmies wet their pants.

That's about it. :mental:

They are already trying to tie it to the fraking in the North Dakota oil fields.

DUmmies don't know shit about shit!

first thing came to my mind: Frank's gonna post "things were shaking, my guard cats came to me to alert me that something fishy was going on, but i didnt hear a thing, so i grabbed my 1 3/8" adj. wrench."

Stay frosty folks.

This is Nadin signing off on 108.3 STPD! Until next time, stay frosty, folks!

That's what that sentence reminded me of. A radio personality.

Time to update that list again, BG. :-)

So much for that moonbat horseshit about animals being more sensitive and able to predict earthquakes.

I think that particular bit of nonsense started with the Chicoms.

Post by: Evil_Conservative on November 06, 2011, 04:38:50 PM: Okay, so I've only had the pleasure of being in three small earthquakes while living in Wisconsin. They were probably no bigger than a 3.0. None of them felt like anything "scratching". The last one I ever experienced sounded like a very heavy set person walking down the hallway. I was kind of freaked out thinking some murderer was in our house, but then I realized it was just an earthquake and went on my merry way.

Since last year, the Norman/Jones, OK area has been seeing a lot more earthquakes. Rather small ones, but still. If I lived in that area, I'd be buying earthquake insurance. But that's just me.

She might have a waterbed. If the dog was scratching in the bed, it would shake the bed making it feel like an earthquake... I presume? I don't have a waterbed or a dog. I wouldn't know for sure. :rotf:

No - I suspect it will be the super-volcano theory that pops up again - and that its warming up to destroy all of the Midwest just in time for 2012....
