Everyone felt today’s earthquake but me, apparently.
I officially will not buy any magnitude less than 5.0 for that bad boy. I could see our office shaking

Dylan actually texted Ziva and me as soon as it happened, because we usually miss them (headphones on, immersed in crazy old court documents). Still missed it. The funniest thing right after an earthquake is the live-tweeting, and seeing how far away it was felt. Equipment as far away as Georgia registered today’s temblor.
For comparison, the one on the right was a 4.0Mag just before 1.. Now compare that to the one we just had… @NewsOn6 pic.twitter.com/NgRYX6lpD3 — Jordan Overton (@JordanoWX) July 27, 2015
Just remember, Oklahoma does not have an earthquake problem. http://t.co/jLlclneHjh @readfrontier #tboonepickens — Joshua Kline (@JoshuaKline) July 27, 2015
4.5 earthquake in central OK within last hour felt stronger because it was at a relatively shallow depth of 3.2 km. @KJRH2HD — Taft Price (@TaftPrice) July 27, 2015
A few months before we left the Tulsa World, Ziva worked on this project examining Oklahoma’s earthquake problem with two of our favorite former co-workers, Curtis Killman and John Clanton.
It’s a great primer on the debate, with some details about what life is like in the hot zone for daily quakes around Medford. We also had the pleasure of getting to hang with EnergyWire reporter Mike Soraghan at this year’s IRE convention. He’s done some great reporting on the issue. As has Joe Wertz, in this really cool partnership with Reveal.
Personally, I’m still trying to get to the bottom of who is responsible for this:
