Earthquake in Central Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Did you feel the earth shake at about 9:06 this morning? Well, reports are coming in and it appears that a minor earthquake did roll through the Oklahoma City area this morning. A 4.5 earthquake is what local news reports are saying.

We here at Red Dirt Report, here in mid-Oklahoma City, certainly felt it, noticing that the cats were startled and one fell off a table. What is interesting is that your Red Dirt Reporter has been predicting an earthquake in our area for a couple of weeks. I say that because I have noticed a number of "lost pets" signs tacked on poles. Some time ago I had heard that pets start "disappearing" - as our kitten did a few weeks ago - prior to earthquake activity.

I felt it down here 15 miles north of Duncan (or 25 miles due east of DT Lawton)

Got a bad feeling the New Madrid is going to blow real soon..

[BuckeyeTexan]

New Madrid getting itchy?

4.3 Noble,OK

Please don't say that, The fault line runs through south central Indiana heading northwest. I live right where the hills start south of Indianapolis, and the fault line drawn on the detailed map runs exactly centered under my home and business.

The New Madrid has been very active lately. Lots of us are watching it. Our family has made necessary preparations (water, medicine, food supplies, etc.).

Boy Scout Motto: Be prepared.

Yep. Felt it in northwest OKC. Things shook for a moment but no damage here. A friend in Norman says he thought a truck hit the side of the house.

We got a good rattle here in SW Mobile at 8:48AM this morning but, that was probably seismic activity from the oil drillers.

Interesting, in that it is due West from the earthquake that happened in Arkansas just a few days ago.

No, I think not.

Why do you say that? Central OK had a 5.5 back in the early 50's. It was an earthquake...so...yes...I think so.
