We have had an unusual amount of activity lately (or so it seems to me)

About 1 quake per week for over a month !

I felt it as well while I was in bed, and I live just outside of Tulsa. What's been happening here in Oklahoma, And what just happened in Hati, It's a warning sign... Stuff is happening, And it honestly wouldn't surprise me if the world actually did end in 2012. Some may think I'm crazy, That's fine, But open up your eyes, Oklahoma having earthquakes?! Especially this often? We hardly have earthquakes at all, And when we do they certaintly aren't enough to wake you up. $hit is going to start happening more and more I'm afraid...
