While Oklahoma has had a handful of notable earthquakes over the past century, it was essentially never an earthquake state.
And rightfully so, given that the USGS and other officials, up until quite recently, ranked Oklahoma’s earthquake hazard level at the second lowest level, with a patch of slightly elevated, but still moderately low areas:

The result: an unhappy driver and a mangled car.

Yet Flint residents still can’t drink the water, and the announcement was met with outrage.
