Crews in central Oklahoma were out early Sunday morning assessing for damage from the largest quake to hit the state since record-keeping began.
The 5.6-magnitude quake struck 4 miles east of Sparks in Lincoln County at 11:53 p.m. ET Saturday.
No major injuries were reported, but the quake caused at least three sections of U.S. Route 62 to buckle, said Aaron Bennett of the Lincoln County 911 and emergency management.
A boulder rolled into a rural county road, blocking it.
Crews also reported some structural damage, including a roof collapse and a damaged ventilation system in a municipal building.
"They're reporting that all the houses look like they've been ransacked," Bennett said of the assessment crews.
At least one person was taken to a hospital in Prague with minor injuries, he said.
The man hit his head against a wall when he tripped and fell while trying to run out of his house, Bennett said.
Some 200 miles away in Garland, Texas, resident Noel Kennedy said he felt the quake.
"I heard stuff rattling. Mirrors were shaking," he said.
The Saturday night quake struck the same area where a 4.7-magnitude quake struck just hours earlier -- at 3:12 a.m. ET Saturday.
By 8 a.m. Saturday, geologists had recorded more than 30 aftershocks from it.
The strongest quake previously reported was of magnitude 5.5 on April 9, 1952, according to the Oklahoma Geological Survey.

WE DID IT JAN WE DID IT. WE HAVE THE PRIMER JAN.
It's the earthquakes all over the World raising so much dust they're seeding the clouds causing the Flooding Jan. HAHAHA PROBLEM SOLVED Y'ALL.

I imagine old Pat Robertson can't figure out how to synchonize the Bible's "earthquakes in one place after another" with ALL THE QUAKES HAMMERING THE SAME SPOT OVER & OVER.
I'm looking up SATURATION OVERKILL right now.

Scratch Texas they're in a drought anyway. We don't need Oklahoma so scratch Oklahoma also. Maybe they'll turn into a GIGANTIC SINKHOLE => I never liked Texan's attitudes anyway. Bobby Ewing & Stephanie Zimbalist were OK.

There's a big earthquake fault system in Missouri; I wonder if this is somehow connected.
I have a couple of friends in the area. One was freaked out, the other one slept through it!

That would be the New Madrid fault. I do not know if it goes down that far but shock waves from it could trigger other seismic events http://www.greatdreams.com/madrid.htm

I know a person who was the recipient of ELF waves. Made her ears feel like they were going to explode and then she got sick to her stomach.
Also, ham radio operators frequently use the ionosphere to bounce radio waves off of, so they can talk to people across the globe. As does the military.
As to HAARP, I did an independent study into Nick Begich's claims. I found all of the information in his book, from single sources. I put it all together, and now I am a believer in the effects HAARP can have. I had never heard the connection to the chemtrails...I have seen sunny weather turn to dry gray clouds from them though.However, I believe the earthquakes happening in places like OK are because of the drilling and the depletion of the volumne or mass of oil and gas.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- Crews in central Oklahoma were out early Sunday morning assessing for damage from the largest quake to hit the state since record-keeping began.
The 5.6-magnitude quake struck 4 miles east of Sparks in Lincoln County at 11:53 p.m. ET Saturday.
No major injuries were reported, but the quake caused at least three sections of U.S. Route 62 to buckle, said Aaron Bennett of the Lincoln County 911 and emergency management.

At least one person was taken to a hospital in Prague with minor injuries, he said.
The man hit his head against a wall when he tripped and fell while trying to run out of his house, Bennett said.
In Broken Arrow, resident Bubba Fernandez said the earth shook for a full minute when the quake struck.
"It was at least a minute," Fernandez told CNN affiliate KTUL. "Upstairs, my kid's trophy, the piano upstairs, the little tassels on the fan -- it was at least a minute"
Some 200 miles away in Garland, Texas, resident Noel Kennedy said he felt the quake.
"I heard stuff rattling. Mirrors were shaking," he said.

It was insane. I felt the one in the morning that woke me up and the second bigger one. The first one was just kind of like a gentle rumbling that went away after 10 to 15 seconds. The second one just kept getting stronger and stronger.
I don't see how people who live in seismically active zones do it! I mean I guess now I'm one of them lol but I don't think of Oklahoma like that.

It do play hell on the psyche, disrupts the sleep cycle, every sound/movement becomes an alert for the subconcious brain, basicly ptsd.
The folks around there will probably experience outbreaks of shingles also. The mind is a powerful thing.

They do it the same way those of you living in tornado alley do it -- it is expected and you just deal with it. I myself am scared to death of tornadoes - the 1978 Denver one blew only 500 yards passed me -- so I think the same about how you all deal with "Tornado" season.
