I Think We Just Had an Earthquake in KANSAS (and no, I'm not drunk)

Anyone else feel that? Freaked my kids out, hubby too.

I’m in Ponca City OK... near OK/Kansas boarder, and YES!... I felt the ground shake.

Definitely an earthquake, and it was my very first

[teenyelliott]

First Oklahoma, now us? What in the world, I thought not moving to Missouri would leave me out of the Madrid fault issues!

I was sleeping on the couch while hubby was watching football. It was loud enough to wake me up. Hubby said the whole house was moving.

I am in Rogers, Arkansas. My house just shook for several seconds.

4.7 near Sparks, OK followed by some smaller ones.

[Safrguns]

There was a 4.7 last night in Prague OK (just east of OKC).

I experienced that one too, but it was just the cabinets that rattled for about 20 seconds.

This time (11:00 pm next day) I felt the earth shaking under my feet.

[teenyelliott]

WOW! I've been through some in California; I was young, thought they were cool.

Now that I'm middle aged and in Kansas, I am freaked out that there will be another one!

Kids and husband have never felt an earthquake, they don't know what to think.

Yes, we did have one here in extreme southeast Kansas. About equal to one I felt here in the early/mid eighties.

[teenyelliott]

Dang, all the way down there?

Guess I should check USGS.
