quake
We had what may be our biggest earthquake ever a few minutes ago, preliminarily a 5.2.
Heck of a year, 2011: coldest and hottest, now biggest quake.

5.6, biggest ever
It was a 5.6, the biggest in state history (previous record was a 5.5).

So, yes, quite a year for records in OK.
No, no potted plants fell over.

Birds on weather radar after quake
This segment from the Weather Channel has a still image showing that birds took flight after the quake last night.
http://www.weather.com/weather/videos/n ... adar-22470
It also reminds viewers of the weather records OK had had this year: coldest (-31 F), most snow (Tulsa), biggest hail, hottest month, plus some colossal tornadoes.
Can't wait for 2011 to end....

Sid,
I copy everything from you I can! Hoping for snow
Jesse,
I'm not sure if "zone 4 for a few hours" counts as "zone 4" but many dead plants sure say it does.
Basically, though, 2011 has been a heck of a year here on "Terdal Farm" no matter how you figure it.
Tim,
yes, a few. I'm from the west coast so to me it doesn't count 'til it gets to 5+ (remember, it is a log scale, so the 5.6 yesterday evening was MUCH stronger than the 4.7 earlier in the day).
Anyway, I used to say about cold, tornados, hail, heat, drought that compared to Oregon, at least we don't have earthquakes. Now I'm wondering how fast I can get outa here.....

That birds reference reminded me of a big earthquake in China a few years ago.
People reported seeing all birds take to the sky immediately before the quake struck.
Also, pinkish edged clouds were reported to suddenly appear.
But at 11:30 at night, birds would've all been roosting...
Hope there's no more shaking there, Erik!

how do the birds know a quake is coming?? Strange birds know but humans have no clue.

I just checked out the USGS earthquake data. The 5.6 was not the 1st quake in your area....there were a load of others just prior. Did you fell the 'smaller' ones before the 'big' one?

Great stuff!

I just checked out the USGS maps of the quake. It was centered just north of Shawnee, OK. I spent 2 summers in Shawnee, OK when in college (summer break).....what's the 'odds'? PS, I've never been hotter than those OK summers......just BRUTAL. We generally get less than 10 days which hit 90F here in Mass. Any day over 85F is 'hot' here....LOL.

Re: replies...
Im only asking because as far as im aware, the zones are rated based on record low temps, not average lows. Other wise id be zone 6...TerdalFarm wrote:Sid,

That's what the scientists are studying.how do the birds know a quake is coming
We have lots to learn...
But realistically, a half-minute "warning" isn't going to be of any benefit.
