Dang, another earthquake just happened in Stillwater, and it was definitely stronger than the 2.2 from last night that centered a mile from Stillwater. Even the news guy on TV Channel 4, who's 60 miles away, just said he noticed it! It will be interesting to see how strong this one turns out.
Unlike the 2.2 quake, this one frightened and upset a lot of Stillwater people. But USGS said it was just a 3.5 in magnitude centered under the west side of Stillwater. But gives Stillwater people too good of an idea of what people living between Guthrie and Edmond have been going through lately. Hopefully, this isn't a sign a new hot spot for quakes is trying to form near Stillwater. The quakes in the neighboring counties are far enough away so they don't make nearly as much of an impression.
Some Facebook comments from Stillwater about the 3.5 earthquake:
"The whole Walmart shook! I told my Kids it was momma's fury cause they wouldn't listen! Lol"
"That felt much bigger than a 3.5!! It shook like crazy on the 3rd floor of the life science building!!"
"Holy earthquake batman."
"Almost went under the desk."
"My apartment shook like crazy! Scared me for a second!"
"Felt really big all the way out here on Airport Road. This is a brick house and it shook the Crap out of it. Lol"
"It sounded like field artillery."
"HUGE quake just hit us in Stillwater! Three booms coming from far away and then in. I was on second floor of home and the whole place continued to move for FAR TOO LONG and felt like it was coming down. We have allowed them to get away with this too long. As I was reeling sideways I noticed our dog Berkeley leaping straight up in the air in alarm. Get those law suits in. It is all they understand."
"It really scared me. There was a loud explosion and the house shook. It lasted longer than other quakes that I have previously felt."
"One of my coworkers was in Hobby Lobby and a whole display of glass items fell and broke!"
"Hardest one we have felt downtown. Got to stop the disposal and injection wells."
"I was at a meeting at the Community Center & our huge, heavy table & all of us sitting there shook!!"
"I thought that things were going to start falling at the animal shelter, and you know we are all block and concrete. VERY scary."
"Was in the middle of seeing my very last patient. Underscored exactly why we are leaving Stillwater."
"Whoa, that was a big one at Boomer Lake, 12:15. We had one last night too that shook the house about 9:30 or so."
