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.
Why are we allowing any company to set off explosives under our earth fracking to get oil..?? Their are consequences for beating our planet up and altering nature....but there is money to be made....sad and sick for future generations.

Yah, if you haven't been paying attention.. earthquakes have been happening all over..
It's not random.. the earth is going through changes just as we are
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.

Nah, not so much.. but likely it's the increase of sinkholes..
Maybe the technology to measure these quakes has improved in the last decade...
