Are you sure about that?
It's large for Oklahoma.
Diamond at the Oppenheimer Ranch Project was pointing out that changes in our magnetic field and those of the Sun would be triggering earthquakes worldwide on an increasing quantity and scale. Maybe he's right?
Old Mother Earth has been rocking and rolling a bunch lately, it seems.
I thought it was the fajitas.

Not fracking, possibly a waste water injection site near a sensitive fault. If so, their injection quota will be lowered for that site. That was the issue when quakes were much more common in OK 5-10 years ago.

When I lived just south of Wichita, I felt exactly 2 EQs. Both out of OK in the 5.0 range. I’m from the east coast and had never felt one until then. Make one feel real small that’s for sure. Me and my ex were watching tv Both times . We were quite perplexed with the 1st one. Glass rattling, pictures making sounds. TV swaying, we just looked at each other like WTF is that.

Neither here nor there.
Same with Ben from SuspiciousObservers! I posted a video here last week when he discussed some sort of gamma ray burst from a very distant star hit the earth last week... he said then to watch for a major uptick in quakes and violent weather.

Neither here nor there.
The one in northern Kansas has me concerned, there's a fault line that runs just east of Omaha down through the NW corner of MO into Kansas that's been known to pop of 6.0 quakes every hundred or so years, and it's been quite awhile since one has happened in that area.

As expected.

CARNEY, Okla. (KFOR) – More earthquakes have been recorded near Carney after seismic activity was recorded in the area early Thursday morning.
Just before 4 a.m. on Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey recorded a 4.0 magnitude earthquake.
The epicenter was located about three miles east of Carney.
The USGS also recorded a 3.3 magnitude earthquake just a few minutes later.
USGS: 4.0 magnitude earthquake recorded in Oklahoma
Just after 8:30 a.m. Friday, a 3.5 magnitude earthquake was recorded 2.5 miles southeast of Carney.
Another 2.7 magnitude earthquake was recorded 2.3 miles east-southeast of Carney just over an hour later.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which regulates the oil and gas industry in the state, is sending inspectors to investigate 15 injection wells, according to spokesperson Matt Skinner.
“We’ve identified the wells that might be suspect and will audit them” for both the volume of wastewater they inject and the pressure used to inject the liquid, Skinner said.
The commission has previously directed oil and gas producers to close some injection wells and reduce volumes in others to lessen the chance of earthquakes.
