Correction 5.6! Strongest in Oklahoma history!

[Uncle Slayton]

We were trying to describe the sounds and the closest we could come up was those old movie effects with a cattle stampede or the herds of buffalo tearing across the plains...a rolling continuous rumble.

EDIT: You people are fast.

[Bellaboo]

They reported at 11:20 it was upgraded to a 5.6.......

I'm sure they'll revise it again before it's put to rest.

I thought of the buffalo herd night scene from Dances With Wolves.

Biggest quake ever in Oklahoma since recording began.

I wonder if the 5.6 is considered to be an aftershock of the first one early today. It's very unusual for an aftershock to be larger than the original event.

I lived in San Francisco for nearly a decade, in 100 year-old Victorians, and in homes built on sand. That was the most powerful and most sustained earthquake I have been through and/or felt.

Maybe this morning was pre-shocks? Maybe the 5.6 is a pre-shock?!

I keep telling you all they have to do is return our Seattle Supersonics and I'll lift the curse.

[PennyQuilts]

I didn't think it was ever going to stop. The house was rattling and felt like it was slung, twice - like a ripple went through. I didn't care for it.

Well that settles it then, PQ. We just won't have any more. LOL

[Thunder]

BOOM! This doesn't look good for our beloved precious Devon Tower.

[BB37]

Felt it strong in Surrey Hills (far NW OKC). House rattled for a good 45 seconds. Exciting but scary.

It's a plan!

Hey, KOCO is talking on TV right now. The 5.2 wasn't revised to 5.6? They were saying the 5.6 around 11:50pm, so that mean we still have the 5.2 around 10:30pm. Right????

No, the 5.2 was upped to a 5.6.

There was the only one quake according to the US Geological Survey. They're still saying 5.6.

[Thunder]

No, the 5.2 was upped to a 5.6.

Okay, so the 5.6 lil after 10:30pm. How strong was the 11:50pm? KOCO was saying 5.6 happened at 11:50pm? Can you clear that up, please.

There's nothing to clear up. There was only one which is being called a 5.6. Nothing happened at 11:50PM.

[Bellaboo]

It was 10:53 pm...... 11:50 is probably EST ?

Go look at the USGS link above, it will tell you.
