When the "earth moves" it's a good indication that, maybe, you should too :oops:

So true, especially if the next biggest one comes, and I happen to be in the same room where my fireplace chimney could fall and crash  through the roof.  It's a mystery what's causing the quakes, either old dormant faults waking up or oil field work causing them.  It's so bad that Oklahoma has become the 2nd or 3rd most active state for earthquakes with the most intense one, so far, this year at 4.1M.

"UPDATE: Jail officials say all the cracks were determined to be cosmetic and the county is cleared to make the minor repairs"

Something you typically see in a concrete block building after the ground settles...it just had a little help this time.  :shock:
