An earthquake that struck central Oklahoma today was the second-strongest in the state's history, the Oklahoma Geological Survey reported. No significant damage or serious injuries have been reported with the quake, which was felt in three states. The epicenter was about 8 miles southeast of Norman. People reported to the USGS that they felt the earthquake from as far away as Brentwood, Tenn. (953 miles away); Fenton, Mo. (707 miles); Fort Leavenworth, Kan. (504 miles); Glenmora, La. (635 miles); Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark. (439 miles); and Round Rock, Texas (519 miles).
two people suffered falls and needed medical care.

Oklahoma City resident Kenneth Tankersley, 52, was one of them. He broke his left ankle when he fell from a ladder outside his house as the earthquake struck. He said he was trying to take down an antenna when the ground shook.

It's being called a 5.1, the epicenter is at Lake Thunderbird south of OKC. Last time we had one that large was 1952 in El Reno at 5.5.

Maybe Oklahoma is finally growing a mountain.

there is some small mountains in eastern OK., near Arkanasas.
but there was another quake in upper michigan, at the furthest northern tip of the fault line that runs though the midwest...they are thinking a major quake will happen soon in around the westrn tennesse areas, like the quake that happened in 1850's. It accually made the Mississippi River backflow north and flooded a huge section there.

Ya, the New Madrid fault. It is due anytime...
