Can your dog predict an earthquake? Evidence is Shaky
The paper published in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America instead suggests that most of this “evidence” consists of single observations and anecdotes that cannot be tested rigorously. Its authors suggest a series of questions that researchers should use in analyzing the evidence that abnormal animal behavior predicts earthquakes.

Sorry if my recent posts have been unrelated to mortality underwriting. But when the house is a rockin’ don’t bother knockin’ just come on in. The statistics from OGS in the Tulsa World article is reproduced below.
The trend line looks bad. Real bad.

Oklahoma had 881 earthquakes greater than 3.0-magnitude in 2015, according to the OGS. That was up 50 percent from the 585 recorded in that category in 2014.
I decided to post a link on my earthquake problem to let my family and friends know that I wasn’t joking about earthquakes in OK.
We Interrupt This Blog for an Earthquake
When someone mentions “earthquake” I tend to think immediately of San Francisco or Japan, perhaps the horrific quake that just jolted China. But Oklahoma?
On June 6, a minimum of four small earthquakes were recorded and confirmed in the Oklahoma City area by the Oklahoma Geological Survey. The largest quake occurred around 1:15 a.m. and measured 2.5 on the Richter scale. The epicenter was near the Interstate 44-Interstate 40 junction. This location is about 20 miles from my house.
This information is for all of you out there who believe there is nothing in the state of Oklahoma except for tornadoes. We have earthquakes too. Just another reason why we love this place.
Addendum – I forgot to mention on the day of the earthquakes we had sustained flat winds between 35 and 45 MPH with gusts exceeding 50 MPH. Note how the winds split this tree nearly in half. This happened two blocks from the world headquarters of UW Solutions LLC.
