Forget 5.2 – It Was 5.6 – And Yeah, It’s a Record Breaker
Quick comments… a survey of credible Twitter news accounts indicates the quake was felt in Arkansas, Lincoln, Nebraska, Dallas/Fort Worth, Wichita, Kansas City and St. Louis. Early news reports indicate there is some damage close to Prague, which is where the quake early Saturday morning hit. Yee Hah.

Okay now I can say I have felt and heard an earthquake. I am sure everyone agrees that once is plenty. Quiet down now Mother Earth.
I have felt many quakes around the world, some stronger and some less. This is the strongest I have felt here in NW OKC. My dog was looking at me pleading, Make this stop!
Just had an aftershock at 11:32pm….got helicopters flying over. We live at SE 104th & Peebly Road, Newalla. The first one knocked over knick knacks, and the chandaliers swayed for a good 3 to 4 minutes after it was done.
