As if the threat of severe weather wasn't enough, the Sooner State started Monday off with an earthquake. Things are getting crazy in Oklahoma, and no it wasn't your imagination the U.S. Geological Survey reported that we had a 4.6 magnitude earthquake earlier this morning around 11:00-am CST.
There has been a lot of recent shake, rattle and rolling going on in Oklahoma, but according to William Andrews, director of the U.S. Geological Survey Oklahoma Water Science office in Norman, southwest Oklahoma has nothing to worry about.
A series of earthquakes and aftershocks — some felt as far away as Wisconsin — shook Oklahoma this weekend, startling people more accustomed to tornadoes than temblors.
Early Saturday, a magnitude 4.7 earthquake affected areas from Texas to Missouri, followed by a 5.6 quake later that night — Oklahoma’s strongest in history — and more than 10 aftershocks.
