Earthquakes strike across U.S.

A magnitude 5.1 earthquake rattled rural Northern California Tuesday with no reports of damage or injuries.

The U.S Geological Survey reported the quake struck at 7:57 p.m. and its epicenter in rural Lake County, about 115 miles northwest of Sacramento. Two small aftershocks of 2.7 and 3.0 could be felt about 30 minutes after the initial quake.

The Lake County Sheriff dispatch reported no damage or injuries and said firefighters were battling a small wildfire nearby. Residents and business owners in the region reported swaying light fixtures and scared pets, but no damage or injuries.

“We felt it,” said Chris Goad, a bartender at the Old World Tavern in Lakeport near the epicenter. “The pictures swayed on the wall, but it wasn’t super-duper strong.”

Another earthquake has rattled central Oklahoma, but there have been no reports of damage or injuries.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 4.0. It struck shortly after 6 a.m. Wednesday and had in epicenter in Luther, about 23 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.

The USGS says the earthquake was widely felt in central Oklahoma and as far north as Wichita, Kansas.

The number of magnitude 3.0 or greater earthquakes has skyrocketed in Oklahoma, from a few dozen in 2012 to more than 900 last year. Scientists have linked the increase to the underground disposal of wastewater from oil and gas production and state regulators have asked producers to reduce wastewater disposal volumes.

    state regulators have asked producers to reduce wastewater disposal volumes.

    How nice of them to ask.

    When have bottom-line conscious corporations – required BY LAW to maximize profit for their shareholders – willingly complied with “requests” that would cost them money? Anyone think of an example?

        zzyzz-
        Yes, i do. I have an un-redacted version which contains the Preamble to the Bill of Rights, which many schoolbooks have deliberately omitted from their text these days, as it’s been deemed “dangerous” to the globalist’s plans. In addition, i have a copy of a Pre-Civil-War era Constitution which has the ORIGINAL 13th Amendment in it, too.

          I wish I knew where to get a copy like that.

    It could be that we are pulling enough oil out of the ground that some of the rock layers are giving way since there isn’t any oil below them to provide support.

      Justin W-
      Very likely, IMO. From what i understand, fracking works by crushing rock layers deep underground. If a similar process was done to your HOUSE, you’d be destroying your own foundation.

      But even before fracking became available, i was concerned about puling oil from the ground, then injecting water or steam to get out the last drops. Oil is compressible, a shock absorber; water is NOT compressible, and is a shock transmitter, ergo any earthquakes which happen are likely to be greater in both magnitude and destructive power.

      Besides, tech has been developed(and suppressed, more’s the pity) that would completely eliminate dependence upon ALL fossil fuels. Big Oil and related industries have been keeping the info from Americans a-purpose so they can continue to reap “profits,” and keep us addicted to their products…while they continue to poison and destroy as much of the earth as they can get away with.

      If interested, one place to start investigating alternative power sources would be http://www.peswiki.com; there will be additional links there to other sources and inventors, i.e. Moray, Tesla, Meyer, and a whole host of others. http://www.rexresearch is another great resource along that line.

    Could it be that “scientists” are lying like a rug–AGAIN!

    Just think of the toxic chemicals that make the groundwater toxic to drink world wide.
    The only water or underground ocean that is not compromised is the underground ocean or sea under Israel and who gets to control and sell water to the world in the end????
    Of course, you have it!!!
    The toxic ocean above ground will not be allowed to be purified as distilled water so only the pure water under Israel will be the only world water sold to those that finally are allowed to survive.

      Anyone who has a clear plastic sheet, a bucket, a shovel, and can pee can make their own distilled water, “against the law” or not.

      Dig about a 4′ deep cube into the earth.
      Place a bucket in the center of the hole.
      Place the plastic sheet over the hole, anchored in place with rocks, but leaving some slack.
      Drop a rock into the center of the plastic sheet so that it forms an upside-down tent, with the point directly above the bucket.
      Pee on the ground around the hole you dug.
      Let the sun do it’s work.

      i have a steam distiller, and have used it for cooking water and drinking water for many years, now. As long as i have or can make electricity, i can use it.

      Where you get your idea that “Only” Israel will have pure drinking water i have no idea; it’s not in the Bible. What IS there is that when Christ returns, a mountain in Israel will be split into 4 sections, and water will stream out in each major compass direction. It says nothing about any water supply or source anywhere else on the planet.
