Earthquake?! Updated!
14 years ago
Had an earthquake here overnight; a magnitude 4.7 with an epicenter almost 50 miles east of me. I actually felt it even at that distance. I was sitting in my room when stuff started shaking. No damage though; didn't even knock anything over. There's been aftershocks reported, but I haven't felt any yet. Here's a link to the USGS with info on it (I'm in 'Oklahoma City' on the map): http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthqua.....36.-98.-96.php
UPDATE: Had a second quake just before 11 PM Saturday evening, this one even stronger than the last one. USGS put it a 5.6, strongest ever in Oklahoma history. This one was actually a bit scary, and I had to hold onto my computer monitor to keep it steady. I'm gettng word of damage to roads and buildings near the epicenter, but no reports of injury at this time.

50 miles isn't on top of it, but thats still pretty close.
