I believe I recall reading about a theory that after TX has a quake, then CA will have a quake. OK is real close to TX.

On the other hand, they might have just been drilling for oil. ;)

EXCERPT:

The majority of earthquakes in Oklahoma are caused by the industrial practice​ known as "wastewater disposal". Wastewater
disposal is a ​separate ​process in which fluid waste from oil and gas production is injected deep underground far below
ground water or drinking water aquifers
