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.

We have friends in Ardmore OK I wonder if they felt it down there.
You’d better think again.
Felt it here at our plant just south of downtown. Thought it was a plane but it got stronger and kept rumbling. My next thought was another big explosion.
Norman today.
New Madrid area (ne AR/se MO) has been experiencing numerous tremors in the 3.0 range.
nw AR had a couple of small tremors a few weeks ago.
A whole lot of shaking going on.
We had a 5.4 a year and a half ago in south east central Ill. centered 15 mi from our home.
Scared the crap outta me.
I felt it in Tulsa too. Work over near 46th Street North and Mingo, and feel shakes now and then when the quarry nearby sets off charges, but this rattle lasted longer and felt different than the quarry blasts. Interesting.
Years ago I was on the I-55 bridge leading into Memphis, east bound for Tunica. Even the semi traffic was shaking the old bridge. And about 20 klics N is New Madrid epic center. Needless to say, a bad place to be.
If it blows, the old RR bridge will drop faster than Kim Kardasian.
Cool. More beach-front property.
How can you tell?
I heard American Airlines doing their engine run-ups about that time.
Then again, I have never experienced a quake...
I was in Grand Bay this morning on business. Didn't feel a thing..LOL

I thought again.
The answer is no.
I'm at Fowl River and it rattled my windows...so much so that I deliberately noted the exact time.
No, I'm sorry. That's just not so.
Sad to say I had exactly the same thought.
See here: It's OKLAHOMA!
You might as well say there's corn farming in Canada.
Whatever. Earthquakes in Oklahoma! LOL!
I live a few miles from the epicenter. I have been in California during earthquakes. This was definately an earthquake. Believe it.
