“Look out for aftershocks!”

how many Earthquakes did Oklahoma have last year?
Holy Cow! I didn’t think would be 1465!
Fort Worthless-ian here.
Live too far away to have felt the quakes, but got the “breaking news” notification from the NBC DFW app on my phone.
First three words from my mouth:
“What the frack?!” 
Yep. I live about an hour south/SW of OKC in rural area. I can count (and hear) at least 6 brightly drilling rigs for frakkin’-based purpose within sight of my home, upon a higher than most hills in area. I’m in the area just past where the tornado that took out that elementary school in Norman not long ago began and powered up, fwiw.
I’d approximate that one new drilling rig goes up every week or two within 5-10 miles of me. After drilling done, rig goes down in just two days (about same time for install of rig itself, amazingly), then shortly after the hole is surrounded by trailers with huge motors that give the pressure for the frakking. I can step outside and hear the nasty dronel of those ‘pumps’ at this moment from a site about a mile away. Found out a few weeks ago that at least 15 more ‘new holes’ are planned within a few miles of me. The ground is literally being systematically perforated - one of my sons works for a ‘support’ company that deals with the rigs, so I get a bit of insight on what goes on. I would not be surprised if the hill I’m on loses measurable height, LOL.
My wife and I have felt at least two small quakes in past few weeks/month or two. Seems they always happen late night/wee hours of morning, but likely observation bias. Newspapers have now seemed to reduce the frequency of announcing the reporting of quakes with the now-expected frequency.
Heh - just overhead on local TV reporting that Logan County ( @ town of Guthrie, just north of OKC), has had two quakes, 3.7 and 4.0) over last ~24 hours. I can only find, with quick search, reference to one, but it was written not long after first one. The news anchor was very specific about the number two, so there is most likely factual basis to this. I think they got the time frame of “last 24 hours” wrong from various other local-news sites that tell of the 3.7 being midday of day before yesterday. No time to look at USGS site for exactness, sorry.
We be shaking around here more often than not, it seems.
