   I live in Tulsa and was woke up from it. I half asleep thought, "Oh we're having an earthquake. Oh, no we're not. We don't have earthquakes in Oklahoma." I then went right back to sleep. But we did.
   The bed was swaying to and fro and I could hear stuff moving. Weird.

   Check out the USGS website, five-ish earthquakes are not too uncommon. I used to live there and never felt one, but I sure did when I moved here to MD. Oklahoma has several fault lines that most people never really think about. Google Geological Provinces of Oklahoma Robert A Nothcutt. That or visit the Oklahoma Geological Survey. Their site looks like it is overloaded right now though.

    The obvious solution to this problem is more massive tax cuts for the super rich.

    I was woke up several times last night. I had fallen asleep on the couch+the window sill was rattling. Then another time the couch was moving. I thought I was crazy. I live in SWMissouri about 15 miles from the Oklahoma line.

    This is a prelude to a massive quake that will split the U.S. down the middle. The government has known this was coming for decades but never warned the people for fear of panic. What is now the Mississippi River will become a new ocean separating the two new continents.

      I think that was a movie, but they were able to stop it just north of New Orleans or something. You're thinking of the movie George.
