Earthquake Corruption in Oklahoma

Article

This will divert my Russian readers.  Saying there is corruption in OK is like saying Poutine bags another one.

Local seismic monitoring units cannot make up magnitudes willy-nilly.  The local guy has questionable qualifications.  I would call him more of a Oklahoma-seismologist, rather than a seismologist.  :)

Anyway, the big freeze combined with low oil prices has settled things a bit.  Nothing has reached the all-powerful tipping point of M4.0000000   The true accuracy here is probably plus or minus 0.5
