Largest Earthquake In Oklahoma History Upgraded To A 5.8

On Saturday Oklahoma was hit by the largest earthquake in the state's recorded history, causing significant damage to a number of buildings, and so powerful it was felt in seven states (Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Arkansas):

Originally reported as a 5.6, a subsequent investigation has revised it up to a 5.8.  Interestingly, it is also quite a distance from suspected fracking wells, casting doubt on fracking as the culprit.  Quakes of this magnitude simply don't hit the central United States - until now.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains. - Mark 13:8 (See also Matthew 24:7)
