Earthquakes can be man made now.

@MrBrownstone for a few decades in fact, they have weaponized them

I hear fracking for oil displaces mass underground and causes earthquakes.

@PatKirby Salt water injection wells. Arkansas banned it but paid to have their saltwater taken by Oklahoma and injected into our wells. And then we started having earthquakes about 15 years ago. They were smaller ones at first but about 11 years ago we had 3 that unnerved me. Each one was different. And we had many more that were smaller and it felt like a blast of wind had blown up against the sun room and back of the house and whooshed. I would check about 15 minutes later on USGS and we’d have a small earthquake usually in the next county. Sometimes the sleeping parakeets would wake up and start flapping their wings around and get scared, the small earthquakes caused that. I was sitting in my recliner chair one evening and felt a slight movement and the parakeets started doing that.

I hear ya. My cousin in the nearby rural county did coil tubing for many years and later horizontal drilling and some of that injecting. He said they would experience small quakes out in the field. I stopped counting how many earthquakes I went through when I lived in CA. The worst was a 5.3 at four in the morning. I woke up to this creepy loud rumbling noise coming from underneath the apartment building that resembled giant rocks crunching on each other. There was also this loud moaning from the Earth that echoed down the street. I was also able to tell when a small tremor happened at work by sensing the floor shake a bit and always later hearing about it on the news.

@PatKirby the strongest one I felt was a 5.6 with the epicenter in Prague Oklahoma but it lasted over a minute, I thought it wouldn’t stop. The other 2 strong earthquakes didn’t last but a few seconds. One happened when I slept late, thought it would bounce me out of bed. The first one I felt I heard a BOOM and then the house shook, felt like a giant shook it. The epicenter on that one was about 5 miles away. I thought something exploded like a jet from the Air Force Base or maybe a house exploded. But it was an earthquake.

What you describe is very familiar, especially the bouncing around in bed from all the continuous non-stop motion of the earth. And the loud noises. Woke me up and there was this moment of is this real or I'm still dreaming? Right?

@PatKirby no the time I was asleep it was like a big jerk, if I had been sleeping a bit closer to the edge of the bed I would have fallen out. The largest earthquake was continuous, it felt like a rolling earthquake. I got up and ran outside and then inside and then went back to the computer and then got up again and went outside again, kind of panicking but I had time to do all that before it stopped. Even people who had been in other earthquakes said it was a long earthquake.
