Is it normal to have earthquakes in Kansas? Smaller ones have been happening in the last week, this article said 13. http://www.hutchnews.com/kansas_earthquakes/quake_tracker/thirteen-quakes-recorded-in-kansas-this-past-week/article_d5744c22-292d-508e-a30f-31a443d681dc.html

I had an earthquake app on my phone and for several weeks Kansas and Oklahoma were registering several earthquakes a day, under 3.0.

I'm here in Okla.  My husband felt it, heard (and he's hard of hearing) the rumble.  He was in living room; I was in kitchen.  I never heard or felt anything..kinda odd.  Even a little more odd is my cousin lives in Cushing, OK (where it originated) and she didn't feel it either.

The flowers in my vase shook, but did not feel anything.

Well I asked how the brothers and sisters were there in the peace and security thread...wrong place but the right question.

These days it's 'normal' -- wastewater from oil fracking causes a lot of them.  Actually our weather now is anything but normal.  Tornadoes I've noticed over the last 5 or 6 yrs are in places that have never had them.  Man ruining our earth  although it was foretold.

That's why I asked, because I'm not up to date with the geological earthquake zones of the US apart from West Coast Pacific area.  I imagine human activity, fracking most probably, is playing a part then.

It's probably already been posted but I enjoy looking at this sight from time to time when I am thinking of earthquakes. Not as much as before because now my concern is mostly weather and hurricanes here in Florida.
