What is going on, under our houses?
Over the past 7 days, 1/8 of all the world's significant tremors were in the central Oklahoma region.
Precisely, 40 of the 318 quakes of 2.5 or more on the USGS Richter scale were within 100 miles of Enid, Oklahoma.
Despite the uncertainty and risks, the Oklahoma legislature wants to ban any counties or municipalities from curtailing risky geological activities.
