Yes, Meers fault. I am from Oklahoma and currently live in Norman, OK and we have had 65 "felt/registered" earthquakes in the past year; quite unusual. Normally, we have more earthquakes than any other region in the United States (including California) because we sit on top of one of the most active faults in the USA, but these earthquakes are extremely small and cannot be felt or heard. Recently though, the earthquakes have been registering about 3.0-5.0. We are doing studies on the causes right now and have not reached a conclusion on why these earthquakes have been occurring more frequently and stronger.

yes, there's the New Madrid fault line in southern and midwestern usa. A few years ago (or maybe it was last year?) the fault line produced an earthquake that they felt in Chicago (and that was a small earthquake), but back in the 1800's there was a huge series of earthquakes from there that reached parts of oklahoma. Although not under any direct threat, Oaklahoma can expericence earthquakes.
