Dear Doves,
 
I live in Oklahoma. We used to have approximately 50 earthquakes each year, most of them at a magnitude that was minimal and barely felt by anyone.
In the year 2010, we had over 1,000 of them. That is a HUGE increase. This year, we have experienced another big increase so far, and many of them at a magnitude greater than normal. In fact, several of them felt by the greater part of the state(5.6 magnitude), and even farther in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. I have even read of people who felt tremors from beyond the neighboring states.
On Saturday morning 11/5/11, at around 2:12 a.m. or so in the morning, I experienced my first ever earthquake. It was more like a shock wave: quick and noisy. The biggest one, 11/6/11 at around 10:30 p.m., was very long (over a minute) and rattled everything in the house.
I have felt other aftershocks (or are they aftershocks?)since these. Since 11/5/11, we have had 31 quakes.
Quite a BIG difference: going from 50 earthquakes a year and barely detected, to over a thousand in one year, to over thirty quakes in less than FIVE DAYS!!
Makes me wonder if all the 11’s I have seen over the years relate at all to my experiences here in the month of November?
