No wonder I was having trouble sleeping. Little did I know there was a big OK earthquake, m5, int 6. This was a shallow oblique strike-slip, with a normal component.
Felt by thousands, this earthquake may 'rig' the election. It is a reminder that trumpyism will get you bigger ones. This probably didn't do anything to the oil tanks, we have to wait for a shallow thrust m6 for that, but that's just the next step.
This did set off a whole bunch of earthquakes throughout the mechanism, including poor old Kansas who think they can avoid trouble. Not a chance. This general instability indicates that we are lot closer to the m7 than we think. :)
There are the two OK accelerometers at Cushing. The probably only read 1 cm/s PGV.
ADD: Lots of damage in Cushing. Records aren't out yet, but now I'm guessing 5 cm/s. The oil tanks will need 20.
Soft story damage. Ok, maybe 10. Check the tanks!
