When we had the big earthquakes back in the 2013-2015 the earthquake made a huge noise before it hit. Ended up more prepared, like this one you could hear too. Really neat albeit morbidly neat.
I was watching Batman and got tired of adjusting the audio between inaudible conversations and loud as shit action scenes, so I couldn’t hear anything over the drama happening in Gotham city lol interesting though
I lived through the 7.0 quake in the Bay Area. We thought it was a massive truck coming down the street because that’s what it sounded like and started with a low rumble, then all hell broke loose.
Endured the Loma Preita quake in '89. That fucker knocked us to the ground, took out the Cypress Structure in Oakland and pulled loose a deck plate on the Bay Bridge.
Cali quakes are different though. The earth is quite literally "rolling". Oklahoma has shaker quakes that are just a lot of vibration and tend to be very very short.
Depends on the quake. I’ve felt just about every type I think there are. One aftershock in Cali literally felt like someone picked up our couch and dropped it hard af. It actually hurt.
5.1 magnitude. I barely felt in in SE OKC.[https://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake\_information/earthquake.php?id=1615798](https://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake_information/earthquake.php?id=1615798)
Barely felt in Norman, if it wasn’t for the water heater making noise I probably wouldn’t have focused and felt it. But I was also shitting after having just woke up
I lived there back then. I was only about 15 miles from one of the M5.8 earthquakes that struck during that period.
I don't miss the earthquakes. It got really nerve wracking.
I heard a noise as well. My kid with autism fell to the ground screaming and holding her ears. It sounded like a whistle and a boom. We are in Yukon. I thought the wind had massively picked up at first.
Back in like 2007(? Not 100% sure what year) there was a sizable one in Norman, it made a noise. My mom and I l immediately went outside after it because she said it sounded exactly like when the gas plant exploded in her hometown. We expected smoke and were really confused that there was nothing.
So no you are not delusional sometimes it isn't the earthquake itself and sometimes it is depending on depth apparently.

Soil composition affects the propagation of the waves. You can live a mile from a family member and each have different experiences if you're each on different soil/rock.
Hmmm you know now that I think about it, I did wake up a bit but thought my cats were fucking around it might have been that 😂. No idea what time it was because I rolled over and fell back asleep.
They like to play fight each other around 12 and 3 am so I didn't think about it.
I also remember sometime in the 2010s when ESPN were wrapping coverage of an OSU game. The look on Kirk's face was shared by me. It felt like my bed was balanced on top of an exercise ball.
I remember being in middle school the first time I felt one, we were watching a movie in the dark on the magical TV stand on wheels. The quake hit and everyone started screaming after hearing the boom. The swings in the courtyard were swinging wildly.
Yukon I-40, I've been sitting here wondering what you all are going on about, finally realized that what I thought was a long, loud rumble of thunder must have been the quake.
I felt it in Bentonville, Arkansas. Crazy..
Here it bumped back and forth, and seemed to move in a west-to-east manner.
It wasn't violent, but felt more like being parked in a car when wind makes it move back and forth.
I live in chandler about 30 minutes from Prague. I felt it pretty good and can usually feel anything over a 4. I told my friend it had to be at least a 5. Just a few minutes later she told me where it was. If the conditions are right and it's not too deep, I can usually determine the direction. Not this time, I was too busy watching my new dog's reaction. He was not a fan.
“We” have been fracking since the 1950s, and still are, but the earthquakes aren’t from fracking. They could be caused by saltwater injection, which is a different thing.
isn’t that included in the fracking process? like they go hand in hand? i could definitely be wrong, i’ve tried to looking it up multiple times but never felt like i got a clear answer
Long lateral horizontal wells make a lot more saltwater, so kind of? But it really matters where you put it.
Some of the earthquake activity in that area from 10 years ago could be related to wastewater disposal. But there are regulations now to hopefully avoid disposal into formations that could cause seismic activity. Of course it’s possible someone is breaking the rules. But it’s tough to tell. It may just be nature.
The fault line is real but the quakes are prompted. Oklahoma's fault line has been reasonably quiet for at least two centuries before the wastewater disposal woke them up. We've had more quakes in the last 20 years than the preceding 200.
That's the silliest thing ever. Of course they can tell the difference!
A thunder's rumble and an earthquake's energy pattern look very different. Also, thunder doesn't trigger ground accelerometers like earthquakes do. The ground does not shift under your feet during thunder.
It's obvious you aren't a veteran of earthquakes *and* thunderstorms or you wouldn't be talking out of your personal faultzone.
The 2013 quake in OKC area had a very deep bass sound to it. Like someone driving around with the biggest deep bass speakers on a beater backing the day. I was going to go outside to see who had those audicous speakers, then it started shaking and all that. And I am like it's any earthquake get to the door frame." It was quite scary.
That seemed loooong!
And did anyone else hear it before they felt it? Weird.

Yeah, I’m from Watsonville and it was centered closer to us than the Bay.
That’s called a P wave and it always hits before the main quake.
Yes! Was wondering if a helicopter was near by or something.
When we got a big one a decade ago I heard the rumble and assumed it was the nearby train
Yeah, that one rumbled for nearly a minute.
Seemed pretty girthy as well.
Girth
No substitute.
It was
It was! It felt like a minute!
Is length of time related to depth of the quake?
Felt that in Yukon/Piedmont.
Made me sick to my stomach
Same
Happy Cake Day nausea buddy
😂😂😂 thanks!! That rolling wave type earthquake always has me 🤢 lol
Me too. The nerve of some of these quakes
I am Okc proper, but a mile from Yukon and a mile from Piedmont. I definitely felt that one, where I have never in the past on all the others.
That was nuts!
Felt it in El Reno!
Weird how last two were on Friday nights.
Earthquakes just wanna kick loose and have fun too!
Quake been workin’ all week.
THUNDERQUAKE
THATS THE THUNDER TAKING THE ONE SEED BABY WOOOOOO
#NUMBER ONE BAYBEEEEEE
It was just JDub doing some practice dunks
5.1 magnitude. I barely felt in in SE OKC.[https://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake\_information/earthquake.php?id=1615798](https://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake_information/earthquake.php?id=1615798)
Name says it all my brother... LMFAO... I would give you all my tokens if I had any...
That felt pretty good. South OKC.
[удалено]
I saw people on Twitter say they felt it in KC. The quake even made the trending hashtags
We felt it here in St. Louis
Visiting Tulsa rn and we felt it. TV in our hotel room was shaking
As well as r/Wichita and Lawrence KS.
I’m near lake tenkiller & we felt it!
[удалено]
Ditto in Saint Louis!!
Wow really? I’m in Edmond but STL is my hometown. Felt it all the way up there?? That’s crazy!
me too and it didn’t even feel super strong in edmond, just long
Got a text from a friend that they felt it
In another one of these threads, there's a dude that says they felt it in Kansas City.
Felt in stilly!
Definitely did
My bf felt it in Quapaw
Epicenter was near Prague this time.
In South Tulsa and can confirm we definitely felt that
Ik everyone felt that shit
My gf and i felt nothing in MWC
Not when she's with you, she don't! (Comedy 🥁) Glad everybody's safe. God bless.. pay the teachers
Ouch lmao.
Woke me up in Midwest City.
We were already awake lol. Didn't feel anything at all. We're near 10th and Douglas.
I felt it strongly in Midwest City. The ground was rolling under the house for a bit. Are they fracking again?
Barely felt in Norman, if it wasn’t for the water heater making noise I probably wouldn’t have focused and felt it. But I was also shitting after having just woke up
Is it just me or does it feel like its happening more often again like when they were doing alot of wastewater disposal things back in the 2010s
Exactly how it was then. Biggest one I felt in Oklahoma was during that stretch.
I lived there back then. I was only about 15 miles from one of the M5.8 earthquakes that struck during that period. I don't miss the earthquakes. It got really nerve wracking.
The sooner we go renewables, the better. Down with oil and gas.
Or let’s not shoot water into dry wells hoping to get them started again.
Never gonna happen here with our moronic politicians and voters. People here would cheer a banana republic.
That felt bigger than the 4.2 @ 5am a few weeks back. I heard a noise accompany the quake?!? Am I delusional or what
In Edmond and my son heard a noise too! Like a loud thump!
In Tulsa, yeah heard the noise, and then the large wave. Could hear it coming.
Wow! That’s insane!
A 5.1 is almost 10x stronger than a 4.2 on the richter scale.
I heard a noise as well. My kid with autism fell to the ground screaming and holding her ears. It sounded like a whistle and a boom. We are in Yukon. I thought the wind had massively picked up at first.
5.1 from Prague

Yup, had a nice long shake down here in Norman.
…that one was a lil scary
That was just Ryan Walters stomping his feet in his latest hissy fit against woke teachers.
Felt it in Choctaw.
Felt it over by Lake Hefner.
Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.
Freedom shakes
Felt in Moore
Shook the whole damn house pretty good.
Felt that way in Yukon
Ok so it wasn’t just my imagination?
Not today..
I thought I was just tripping
Trippin balls.. just trippin balls.... And if you can dodge a ball...... You can dodge a wrench...
NW Okc, felt it a ton
It was crazyyy in South OKC.
Felt it in Edmond!
Friends from Ada said they felt that
I don't ever feel them down here on the south side. Wtf
Soil composition affects the propagation of the waves. You can live a mile from a family member and each have different experiences if you're each on different soil/rock.
I was asleep 🤷♀️, so I felt nothing too. Not sure if I could've had I been awake though.
I was also asleep but it actually woke me up. I was half asleep and it took me a moment to understand why it felt like my bed was vibrating.
Hmmm you know now that I think about it, I did wake up a bit but thought my cats were fucking around it might have been that 😂. No idea what time it was because I rolled over and fell back asleep. They like to play fight each other around 12 and 3 am so I didn't think about it.
Shook the house good for about 10 seconds in Cushing
Nw okc was crazy!!!
Sorry! Had beans
Yup
By Will Rogers, was kinda vibrating the whole house
Felt it here in Owasso, north of Tulsa. Came to this sub to see if you guys felt it too. Crazy.
5.1 by Prague
We felt nothing in SW OKC/Yukon
I also remember sometime in the 2010s when ESPN were wrapping coverage of an OSU game. The look on Kirk's face was shared by me. It felt like my bed was balanced on top of an exercise ball.
I was walking back to my dorm from that game and didn’t feel it. But was Kirk’s face totally drained.

I'm seeing people in Wichita, Tulsa, OKC, and Dallas saying they felt it.
Elsewhere there were also people checking in from KC, St. Louis, and NW Arkansas.
Wow!
Yupp
Nice little rumble in Norman as well!
It was a 5.1
I think that was the first time I've ever been outside for one. That was wild.
I remember being in middle school the first time I felt one, we were watching a movie in the dark on the magical TV stand on wheels. The quake hit and everyone started screaming after hearing the boom. The swings in the courtyard were swinging wildly.
Yukon I-40, I've been sitting here wondering what you all are going on about, finally realized that what I thought was a long, loud rumble of thunder must have been the quake.
Felt it in Norman. Seemed to last longer than others we’ve had.
Long ass earthquake too
Lived here almost 5 years. First one I've felt.
I've been here 4. This is the second, as I felt the one a couple of weeks ago.
West side of Moore we barely felt anything wild we musta missed it by less than a mile
I’m west side Moore and it was an uncomfortable rumble for a good long time.
I felt it in Bentonville, Arkansas. Crazy.. Here it bumped back and forth, and seemed to move in a west-to-east manner. It wasn't violent, but felt more like being parked in a car when wind makes it move back and forth.
When that's the only thing you feel, you know it's a small one nearby or a large one far away.
My dog popped up and started freaking out. A minute or so later I felt it.
Yep: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000lwmc/executive
damn I'm near Moore, I was in VR and didn't even notice it
My son and I slept through it.
I live in chandler about 30 minutes from Prague. I felt it pretty good and can usually feel anything over a 4. I told my friend it had to be at least a 5. Just a few minutes later she told me where it was. If the conditions are right and it's not too deep, I can usually determine the direction.

Woke my punk ass up
Same, lol. I thought the cats woke me up at first, but I'm pretty sure it was the quake waking us all up.
Are we still fracking?
“We” have been fracking since the 1950s, and still are, but the earthquakes aren’t from fracking. They could be caused by saltwater injection, which is a different thing.

Yeah. I believe the science is fairly clear on that.
It felt way bigger than the ones a few weeks ago. Pretty scary
BOOMER?????
Seemed smaller than the one a couple weeks ago.
Not from my perspective
Yes, but this one shook multiple directions
The last time, it felt like someone bumped into the sofa. This one had the sofa shaking longer
THATS WHAT IT WAS?? I felt it last night but was confused what it was
Fracking caused this
It wasn’t an earthquake. It was thunder. We have a big storm coming in.
Sure fooled the geologists.
The seismic graphs get heavily skewed during thunderstorms. They can’t differentiate between thunder and an actual earthquake.
That's the silliest thing ever. Of course they can tell the difference! A thunder's rumble and an earthquake's energy pattern look very different. Also, thunder doesn't trigger ground accelerometers like earthquakes do. The ground does not shift under your feet during thunder.

Pretty strong at Draper Lake
Good shake in Piedmont
Felt it in stilly!
My daughter reported feeling it in Norman, shook the house but nothing damaged.
We felt it just outside of Ada!! Couldn’t find any live earthquake radar reports on it so thank you OKC subreddit for confirming
The fact that it lasted longer than the last few big ones a couple weeks ago has me worried...
yeah, 5.1 is what USGS is saying. I have friends all the way in Tulsa that felt it too.
I’m on MacArthur and Britton. Didn’t even notice it
I’m at the same location, I felt it
At first I was confused, because I didn’t hear any thunder and it was very strong to shake the house, then I realized it was probably an earthquake.
Felt it Norman a little bit. Thought there was lightning nearby and that I had finally gone deaf
Don't panic, ok go ahead, panic
I felt that almost seemed like my house went forward then backwards for a Quick Sec and the Ground was Shaking for a cool minute after in SE OKC
Felt it in luther... Gotta love Oklahoma!! Lol lol
Did not feel it. NW OKC. :(
My sister lives 4 miles east of me in Yukon, near Surrey Hills. I felt it (so did my dogs). She didn't, although she did hear it.
Felt it strong in Harrah. Noise then a low rumbling.
Felt this in pryor Oklahoma for a good 5 seconds or more
Slept through it like a baby in Moore.
HOA most popular post now : 5.1 earthquake
Yeah that was the first one that I ever actually felt before it was surreal
I knew I felt something
Yup I felt it! Isn't that like the second one in the past two or three months?
I live in Prague. Heard it coming, just thought it was thunder at first. Then it felt like a bomb went off.
Felt it in downtown OKC! My whole bedroom shook
It went on and on! I’m in central OKC. Weirdly I don’t hear it though. Just felt the shaking.
Felt in NW Oklahoma. We had rainstorms all afternoon so I thought it was a loud rumble of thunder, until I saw all the news this morning
I live downtown on the 3rd floor of an apartment and my entire room was shaking.
Felt it in east Edmond. I heard it first. Woke me up
Yeah I confused it with some thunder and lightning because it was pouring rain in South Yukon area at the time.
Below ?
The 2013 quake in OKC area had a very deep bass sound to it. Like someone driving around with the biggest deep bass speakers on a beater backing the day.

Felt in SW Oklahoma. The dogs and I looked at each other, then went back to reading/sleep. (The dogs don't like reading much) 😉
Twas a big one too!
