Attention Hillary Camp:Cracked walls, crumbling brickwork: The legacy of fracking in Oklahoma YIKES!

There are hundreds, if not thousands of stories of people in Oklahoma shouldering the burden of damage caused by industry-induced earthquakes. In some cases insurance does cover the damage, but in many cases homeowners are on their own.

Fighting the insurance companies
Up the road in Coyle, at a spiritual retreat named for Saint Francis of Assisi, a priest is preparing to do battle with his insurance company over earthquake damage.
Brad Wilson is director of St. Francis of the Woods, a 200-hectare spiritual retreat which includes a library featuring a unique collection of 20,000 books on religion, North American spirituality and eastern orthodoxy.
Wilson bought earthquake insurance, in spite of limited coverage and a high deductible, but he's been unable to collect.

He says the insurance company has denied his claim because he can't point to a single earthquake that caused all the damage.
"We have days where we'll have three or four a day and you can literally come in after an earthquake or the next morning and it will be deeper and wider, and bigger crack."

Jackie Dill says she has lost her way of life and can't afford to fix her home. So she's telling anyone who will listen about the toll oil and gas industry practices are taking on the people of Oklahoma.
"I'm in the winter of my years and big oil has taken my home and they're taking my way of life and all I have left is my voice and I'll use it."

No help from state or industry
And even though the state of Oklahoma now concedes the widespread damage from earthquakes, there's nothing it can do to help, says Tim Baker, director of the Oklahoma Corporations Commission, Oil and Gas Division.
