I've lived in Oklahoma my whole life. Until September of 2011, I had never experienced an Earthquake. Now it seems like they are as common as tornado warnings, wildfires and crumbling pieces of rock from the Crosstown Bridge. Hell, as you're reading this I bet Gary England is developing a little state map warning system to show in the corner of the TV whenever he thinks an earthquake is about to hit.
Since earthquakes are — or it least were — a rarity in the state, Oklahoman react to them with the same level of excitement as when they got their first car or their first hand job in a car. Seriously, it's a big deal around here. I think the law even stipulates that after an earthquake you have to post five Facebook status updates, text friends and family to see if they felt it, or just walk outside and look around at the sky for a few second.
