OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Busted bricks and cracked windows were revealed Monday after some of those most powerful earthquakes in Oklahoma in the past year rattled the northern part of the state.

Oklahoma residents have gotten used to feeling rumbles from a spike in earthquakes blamed on wastewater injection wells from oil and gas production, but most don't cause damage. The threshold for damage usually starts at 4.0, and two quakes measuring a 4.2-magnitude hit Sunday evening in the Breckenridge and Enid areas, about 70 miles (113 kilometers) north of Oklahoma City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Homeowners and business owners also reported split walls and bricks falling down.

"We're not used to 4.2 magnitude earthquakes," said Garfield County Emergency Management Director Mike Honigsberg.

Well they better get used to it. Keep voting GOP and the ground will be so flushed with toxins that the pressure underground will eventually shoot some of that stuff up through someone's house one of these days.
