"We can't tell if it's going to get worse and this has been such an odd set of earthquakes that it's hard to say what might come in the future, not that we can predict the future anyway," said Oklahoma Geological Survey Seismologist Austin Hollan, after Tuesday's round of quakes.

The USGS says earthquakes with magnitudes from 2.5 to 3 are generally the smallest ones felt by humans.
