it was a 4.5. and you know where the one, this 4.5 unusually large earthquake was last weekend in oklahoma? it was there. it was in cushing. home of the fighting tigers and the former deep rock elementary school. right in the middle of the biggest oil storage facility in the world. what could possibly go wrong? so happy remember about earthquakes day in our new age of manmade earthquakes. god forbid another really serious quake ever happens in cushing, oklahoma and that bit of our crucial national infrastructure. but if it does happen there, we will never be able to say it was a surprise. joining us now is jeremy boak, director of the oklahoma geological survey. thank you very much for being with us tonight. i appreciate having you here. it s a pleasure to be here, rachel. i know it is an unscientific and probably therefore sort of offensive thing for me to say, the earth doesn t like it. talking about the injection of fracking waste fluid.
obviously this is critical national infrastructure according to the federal government. that school that i highlighted there was basically to capture people s imagination. that school is closed now. but looking at that as a facility, are you particularly worried about seismic activity around that spot in oklahoma? yes. we re worried about i mean, we re worried about earthquakes sort of anywhere in this large area. it s about 15% of the area of oklahoma. it s been having this spate of large earthquakes. we had magnitude 4 earthquakes. we ve had somewhere in the 20s now. last number i remember was 22. and i can t remember whether that was before or after these cushing earthquakes. we ve had a number of these earthquakes this year that are of that scale. those aren t the ones that cause the damage but if you have enough of them you start worrying about the next one that might be bigger. dr. jeremy boak, director of the oklahoma geological survey. thank you for helping us understand
