Lately, it's believed that up to 20% of the world's total earthquakes have been happening in Oklahoma. They're in the 2.0 to 4.5 range and notable for their loud explosive noise. They generally last for for a second, or two.

There are a lot of weird sinkholes going on too.. like the one that swallowed someone.. and this one..



However it's believed that these are most likely "fracking" related.. it will take a long while to figure that out

No worries, until it looks WORSE than this.... look at the list, how many in a day.
Take comfort; you're not alone. (see 2/20/14 for example)

But look how the number of earthquakes in Oklahoma have rapidly increased, since 2008. Where else in the world have the number of earthquakes suddenly skyrocketed like this.

I'm suprised you were even capable of getting this message out to the masses, considering your anti-oil stance, and the fact that whatever computer you may be using is made of it.
