On the Cover…
A sequence of shallow earthquakes rattled the area near Wilzetta, Oklahoma, on Sunday 6 November 2011; the Mw 5.6 mainshock entered the record books as Oklahoma’s strongest ever recorded seismic event. The earthquake damaged the new bridge at E1030 Road across Little Sand Creek, about 4.9 km northeast of Meeker and 7.4 km from the epicenter. The bent ~3.2-cm-diameter galvanized steel bolt shown attaches a corner of the bridge span to a concrete abutment through the ~5-cm-thick steel base plate.
