Mike: It’s an annual event, the great shakeout. Each Third Thursday of October emergency agencies and individuals around the world review their earthquake prepareness plan. -Graphic Mike: According to the website Earthquaketrack dot com, over 1,747 earthquakes in the past year with magintudes ranging from 2 point 1 to 5 point 8 on the richter scale. The largest of these tremors originated in Pawnee on September 3rd, 2016 with a magnitude of 5 point 8. -Graphic Mike: According to the Ritcher Scale, a 5 point 8 can cause damage of varying severity to poorly constructed buildings, zero to slight damage to all other buildings, and is felt by everyone. During the spetember 2016 earthquake. Earthquakes are caused by a variety of factors to include movement of techtonic plates or fautlines, underground cave-ins, and man-made events like Fracking and Wastewater injection processes that are used in oil and gas production. -Graphic Mike: According to The United States Geological Survey or USGS, Beginning in 2009, Oklahoma experienced a surge in seismicity. This surge was so large that its rate of magnitude 3 and larger earthquakes exceeded California’s from 2014 through 2017. While these earthquakes have been induced by oil and gas related process, few of these earthquakes were induced by fracking. The largest earthquake known to be induced by hydraulic fracturing in Oklahoma was a M3.6 earthquakes in 2019. The largest known fracking induced earthquake in the United States was a M4.0 earthquake that occurred in Texas in 2018. The majority of earthquakes in Oklahoma are caused by the industrial practice known as "wastewater disposal". Wastewater disposal is a separate process in which fluid waste from oil and gas production is injected deep underground far below ground water or drinking water aquifers. In Oklahoma over 90% of the wastewater that is injected is a byproduct of oil extraction process and not waste frack fluid. -Graphic Mike: To learn more about being prepared for earthquakes visit shakeout dot org or visit this show’s transcript at WoodruffMediaManagemnt.com slash news.
