Earthquake!

Was at work in Tulsa about 9A.M. this morning and then inexplicably, I started slightly bouncing up and down in my comfy chair for a seconds. A few of us were like, "What was that?"

Turns out there was a 4.3 magnitude earthquake near Oklahoma City. Not high enough to normally do any damage but definitely unusual for this part of the country. There is a recently discovered fault line in eastern Arkansas though, and they have had quite a few tremors lately.



Was my first earthquake that I ever felt and was kinda fun.

UPDATE: The Oklahoma Geological Survey has rated the quake as a 4.7 and was felt in Wichita, Arkansas, and Dallas . The second largest recorded in Oklahoma. HURRAH!
