" the planet is stable and nothing moves anywhere." Things are moving in Okiehomeland. One of Oklahoma's Strongest Quakes Damages Homes October 16, 2015 An unusually strong quake in north-central Oklahoma on Saturday broke windows and cracked foundations around the city of Cushing.The 4.5 magnitude jolt was likely due to the injection of wastewater into the ground, which is a byproduct of fracking. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission recently shut down three wells in the Cushing area and slowed production on three others as a result of a series of quakes that have shaken the area. The Oct. 10 quake was centered 3 miles to the west-northwest of Cushing at a depth of about 10,000 feet. A 4.4 magnitude quake located about 65 miles northwest of Cushing jolted an area from around Enid, Oklahoma to southern Kansas about 6 hours earlier. The entire region has seen an explosive growth in the number of injection wells during the past few years, which many believe has triggered thousands of tremors during the period. Oklahoma has experienced only three quakes stronger than Saturday's shaking since swarms of tremors began to increase a few years ago. A pair of 4.8 magnitude quakes struck on Nov. 5 and 8 in 2011, preceded a day earlier by a 5.6 magnitude jolt. earthweek.com
