Damn! Shit blowing up daily around here (Tulsa area)...just an hour ago,

hours ago the huge blast in Muskogee (I live about halfway between them)

Is the rapture next? Or are they blaming it on Al Kada?

(I really hope no one else gets hurt.)

10. No conclusions but gas leak suspected (as I suspect as well)
but kind odd since it has been unseasonably warm the last few days...very little heating required. I dunno...:eyes:

5. Interesting. A suburban commercial building blew up yesterday
near the St. Paul, Minnesota metro area. 3 women dead, one male survivor. Gas leak is the suspected cause.

It is very sad to hear of even more people losing lives and homes this week.

6. Posting again: Vibrations From Indonesian Quake Felt In Oklahoma

Vibrations From Indonesian Quake Felt In Oklahoma


Vibrations From Indonesian Quake Felt In Oklahoma
Geological Survey Records Shockwaves From Massive Quake

POSTED: 1:36 pm CST December 28, 2004

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Jolts from the enormous earthquake in Indonesia that killed thousands were felt in Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma Geological Survey in rural Tulsa County recorded shock waves from the 9.0-magnitude quake beginning at 7:13 p.m. Saturday, 15 minutes after the temblor occurred beneath the Indian Ocean.

The largest waves, with a .12-inch vertical movement in Oklahoma, were logged at 7:36 p.m., local time.

(snip)

The large waves felt in Oklahoma may have caused water in Oklahoma ponds and lakes to slosh back and forth slowly, a motion called a seiche, Lawson said. It also may have caused some tall buildings in the state to sway slightly, he said.

Neither phenomenon had been reported as of Monday afternoon, Lawson said.

"If it had been in the middle of the day, I'm sure there would have been hunters and farmers out seeing their ponds moving around a little bit," Lawson said. "It's probable that it happened."

7. A few years ago a house exploded here because of bug "bombs"
The tenants didn't read the instructions and set off a dozen or so of those bug bombs. A pilot light exploded the propellant from the bug bombs.

No one was hurt, but the the house was destroyed and the family was homeless.
