Earthquake in OK

Well at about 10:54ish we had an earthquake here in Norman, OK.  Naturally, the whole house shook - you could hear our stuff rattling.  Our cats were not pleased, they ran about while I made my husband join me in a doorway - he's pretty impressed.  This is only the second earthquake he's experienced. 

This earthquake was the sliding kind - I could feel the house shake north-south maybe 4 or 5 times.  I suppose it was an aftershock from the 4.7 in Prague, OK early this morning.  Friends of mine not too far east of us felt that one around 3ish this morning.

So strange....  I've heard some talk that frakking is causing increased earthquake activity in the midwest.  Silly me, I thought I left earthquakes back in the Pacific Rim (California and Japan).
