2 around 6:30 AM another at 7:02 and another one about 5 minutes ago





In the middle of Kansas

1. I assume it's due to FRACKING.

2. Caused by fracking in Oklahoma?

[MuseRider]

5. There is plenty of

fracking in Kansas too. Not like OK but enough that we have small earthquakes from here as well as from there. Not many where I am but down farther South and West there are more. I had one wake me up one morning, shook the bed but it was actually the cats and dogs that all of a sudden jumped up and stood at attention that woke me. The actual quake, you could hear it some and it shook briefly and was over before my sleepy brain figured out what happened.

3. Don't frack my mother.

4. A couple of years ago I woke up in Iowa at 7 AM on a Saturday morning

with the bed moving. It was because of an earthquake in Oklahoma.

10. Where were you when you went to bed?

[rsdsharp]

13. The land of nod

and it was all dark after that.

6. Just felt that last one...

Windows were rattling big time.

7. Aren't they right by the fault line that runs through the state?

8. That last one was right under the Koch Bros "compound"

It shook my dishes, I hope some stuff broke at their houses.

18. for real

hope it woke them up hard

[USALiberal]

9. All under 4.0 I heard, not a big threat. nt

11. 3,9 rattled and shook my dishes and a loud roar

really scary

12. We were out for a walk

Didn’t feel anything.

14. Mother Earth

Is not happy. She’s belching from all the crap being jammed down her. This needs to stop.

17. There's a buried mountain range beneath Kansas that is seismically unstable

The largest documented earthquake in Kansas struck in 1867 near Wamego and Manhattan and was estimated to have had a magnitude (M) of 5.0 to 5.5. Because that quake occurred before the advent of seismometers, its size could only be estimated based on damage and eyewitness accounts, which noted ringing church bells, tumbling chimneys, and cracked foundations among other incidents. The Nemaha Uplift—a 300-million-year-old buried mountain range that crosses Kansas diagonally—and adjacent Humboldt Fault Zone to the east coincide with the epicenter of the 1867 earthquake and other historic seismic events.

You're probably not close enough to the New Madrid Seismic Zone to be strongly influenced by it, though fault lines in that region are not as well-demarcated as they are elsewhere. Fracking is of course another possibility.
