Apparently so.....sitting in my office this morning when I suddenly felt the floor moving....swaying...under my feet....not violently...but noticeable...ask around and EVERYONE felt it....no idea what it was...busy....and basically forgot about it.

I checked Kansas.com to catch up on the contract negotiations between Hawker and the machinist union an hour or so later to find out that what we all felt were tremors from an earthquake outside OKC.

Odd.

You got a lot of gas drilling or fracing going on around there?

I've got friends who said they felt it, but meh, I didn't feel a thing.

With that title, I thought you were going to say both were happening the same day.
That'd be pretty sweet.

We get a few small tremors here in Va from time to time.

I have 3 seismographs I check at work and normally can pick them up however they are really faint.

also pick up lightning strikes and they can rock the ground pretty good and max out the airblast sensor.
