4.5 M Earthquake Hits Near Oklahoma City

I bet people in central Oklahoma will be on edge for the next few days, since this earthquake was similar in strength to the fore shock that happened a few days before the big 5.6 mag.  in November 2011.  I think we would rather flirt with record low temps than a new record breaking earthquake.

There's been close to two dozen after shocks since the first one.

Sunday at 5:42 pm, Stillwater had one centered fairly nearby, registering 2.9. It lasted around a second and came with sound like of distant thunder.
