Yes! My husband and I own land in SE Oklahoma and have experienced this first hand.
Another really sad thing is that there is a really large aquifer in the area - several in OK - and there is no telling what all the gas drilling is doing to that water. People who know us don't understand why we wouldn't lease out our mineral rights for gas a few years ago when we could have. But then people who know us don't understand why we don't care if we have a perfect lawn, either.
