Burt Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 East of OKC, the earthquakes damaged a lot of people's foundations. No one had earthquake insurance because...y'know...it's Oklahoma. I think there is a class action lawsuit against the oil companies to get compensation for damaged homes. The bigger one in 2011 is the only time I've ever been concerned during a quake. Usually they're just like sonic booms from a passing jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 You guys are fun wreckers. And fracking does mess with the earths crust. Trail of Tears because of the exodus of people leaving over earthquakes and tornados.Earth's crust is up to 30 miles thick. The deepest fracking I've ever heard of was barely 2 miles deep. Hardly a scratch in the grand scheme. And comparing any mass exodus out of the so-called state of OK would hardly compare to the Trail of Tears, since no one would be forcing them out at gunpoint.

Burt Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Something to consider: California constructs buildings and infrastructure with earthquakes in mind, Oklahoma doesn't. That's a big reason why these fracking earthquakes are a big deal, it basically makes affected houses unsellable, and the homeowner suffers a huge loss in home value.

I was born and raised in CA, experienced my share of terrible earthquakes, and witnessed / suffered from their horrible effects across the board, so I find any attention paid to a 3.5 WTF inspiring.

Burt Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 As I've said, our infrastructure wasn't designed to withstand earthquakes. No one here pays attention to the 3.5 quakes. We have enough to deal with (tornadoes, meth, etc) its not like quakes are a source of pride. These quakes screw with peoples wells, foundations, etc, but the effects are largely localized to two areas in the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 There's nothing to be done. Fracking is the only way to get at profitable quantities of natural gas and other fossil fuels. Naturally the stress field in the area being fractured will be altered. Obviously other problems with fracking are apparent, including contamination of ground water. There are ways to deal with that problem, but quakes aren't avoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Our economy is heavily, heavily tied to petroleum and gas, so as you say, there's nothing to be done. Our state economy would tank if we shut it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Alaska would be both a ghost state and a third world economy without fossil fuels. The only people up here would be hunter/rough types that would scare the NRA, military personnel and finally people too poor to leave. Wait. So basically just like now. Nevermind.
