As I’m sure everyone is very well aware, this weekend Oklahoma was privy to a very rude awakening in the form of a 5.6 earthquake that seemed to go on for a good five or ten minutes. It was mildly terrifying, but thankfully, the abject horror quickly turned to sheer annoyance as everyone in the Metro immediately took to Twitter in a sad contest of frack-based one-liners that led to more than one account being put on mute.
The town of Pawnee, the source of the quake, received the brunt of the damage, with bricks falling, walls cracking and foundations sinking. And while Oklahoma City got away remarkably unscathed, still, if the Prophecies of Nostradamus have taught me anything, our time is coming and when it does, it won’t be pretty. With a magnitude that high and a frequency that continues to alarm, that 6.0 (and above) is just bubbling under the wastewater rich Earth, waiting for the moment to open its mouth and swallow us all in.
