QUAKE!!

Bad enough one but then a second one right after that. I have experienced a quake and I agree with Dr Quack. It is very scary and spooky. Glad to read that so far no damage has been reported by these two quakes.

And oh, it isn't the first earthquake ever in the state, it was just the strongest since the fifties.
 
Answer me this, ear......



If HAARP is the cause of unusual weather, earthquakes, floods, and the increase in the number of spiders on the side of my garage....



why did they all exist, except for the spiders, before HAARP was brought online?



The only difference now is the 24x7 news cycle where anything that happens anywhere is instantly reported world-wide.



I don't need a conspiracy theory to explain natural events when natural explanations serve equally well, especially in geologically active areas, such as the entire middle east.
 
Someplace without known or suspected fault lines.



Geologically speaking, if an area has mountains, such as the Turkish border region you mentioned, it has faults.



Also, that area is also at a junction of multiple tectonic plates.



Oklahoma has been known to be seismically active, just as the area of Virginia involved in the incident a couple of months ago.



In the Sooner State's case, it is between the ancient Reelfoot rift and the Rio Grande rift, both of which are still active, if only moderately so.



If you wish to learn more about it, you can start at these sites:
