Summary:

Being the target of F5 tornadoes, I can fully understand why M3 earthquakes are ignored.  For some reason all these earthquakes are stuck at the M3 level.  In Arkansas, a mechanism quickly develops, and the magnitude rapidly escalates.  For OK, I blame the M5.6 injection earthquake, it has fully mucked up the stresses.
