Scientists Mystified As 27 Earthquakes Hit Oklahoma In One Day (Video)

Residents of Oklahoma were left feeling rattled over the weekend after a string of some 27 earthquakes as powerful as 3.5 magnitude rocked the central part of the state on Saturday alone.
Areas north of Oklahoma City felt the brunt of the temblors, which some say were accompanied by startling booms like the sound of an explosion.
The mystery earthquake wave now has residents fearing for their personal safety and the security of their property. Meanwhile, scientists have been left scratching their heads over the quakes, which are becoming more frequent each day.
6 of these Earthquakes were greater than a 2.5. So now you have to wonder,what is all this about? Is the New Madrid fault waking up? Yellowstone waking up? Or maybe this has nothing to do with nature and everything to do with fracking? Maybe Mother Earth shudders at the pokes and prods of ‘Big Oil’ as they frack her to death. Whatever it is, scientists agree, it is unusual.
The quake was near the Thurman Dam, which backs up a lake with 1200 miles of shoreline as well as several smaller lakes. Should the dam had collapsed a virtual tidal wave would have descended down the Savannah River and taken out the Savannah nuclear power plant. The east coast would have experienced their own Fukushima. It is also near the Vogtle nuclear plant which is near ground zero. Same thing if it had collapsed the plant.
It may as well have happened considering the degraded state of humanity.
You won’t see this on Fox news.
