I just experienced my first one. It hasn't hit OKC online news sites yet, but it was badass! I thought someone ran into our building with a semi. Mother nature is EXTREMELY powerful!

Ah, one that feels like a truck hit the buildin dont even catch peoples attention in some places.

(It took me about 3 months in CA to reach the point that unless something fell over, I didnt notice it. Now, the bay area quake in 89--THAT I noticed. )

Looks like it was a 4.3!

An odd place for an earthquake. That is spooky, I hope that doesn't mean we have a tornado due here on the faultline.

I'm just waiting for the New Madrid to pop.. 9 Pointer here we come!

On that map that was linked, did anyone else notice the 2-3 pointers that have occurred in the last week in Arkansas? It's showing 50 out it the middle of nowhere.

quote An earthquake has rattled parts of central Oklahoma. There are no immediate reports of damage or injury but the National Earthquake Information Center says some minor damage might be expected. Geophysicist Don Blakeman said the earthquake struck at 9:06 a.m with a preliminary magnitude of 4.5. It was centered about 10 miles northeast of Norman. Blakeman said the quake was felt as far away as Wichita, Kan. KGOU in Norman reports that University of Oklahoma officials have cordoned off Dale Hall. Students, faculty and staff members are standing outside the campus classroom and office building.

I thought there was supposed to be lightning before that happened?

Eh, not bad. Wouldn't faze a Californian, though.

My brother was on the OU campus around 1970 or 71 for high school drum major camp, when they had such a quake. So it does happen there, we just don't hear much about it.

Pics of the damage...

You are not the only place in the country with a fault line.

We'll make it all about you next week.

I don't think it was meant like that. Jefferey used to live here bud. He knows how odd it was for us to have an earthquake. I've lived here mostly for 26 years and I've never experienced one before.
