Shaken nerves, but no major destruction from OK quake

A quake has officially hit OK. About six miles east of Norman around 9 a.m. today. The 4.3 magnitude quake had been centered about 3.1 miles below the surface of the earth. The quake in Oklahoma has caused no major harm. No injuries have been reported either.

Whole state felt OK quake

Lots of the country got to experience the Oklahoma earthquake that occurred. Individuals have reported feeling the earthquake as far as Dallas/Fort Worth. The really shallow earthquake meant that the shaking had been felt over a much wider diameter than earthquakes are usually felt. The United States of America geological survey already reported on the quake. It said that it “probably” would not have brought on any significant damage to anything or anyone.

Quake damage largely seen in Hall Park, Oklahoma

The only damage reported as a result of the Oklahoma earthquake has been in the small town of Hall Park, Oklahoma. Oklahoma city is one of the many small cities that got shook. The smaller cities felt it more. The damage in Hall Park is relatively minor, and ought to be easy to repair. The United States of America Geological Survey said the earthquake had been “light.” This is because it had been within the 4. to 4.9 range. Usually harm doesn’t occur in this bracket. There was probably a bit of indoor shaking though.

Ranking the OK earthquake’s magnitude

The earthquake in Oklahoma has had many different magnitude reported for it. These are between 4.2 and 4.9 though. The USGS reports the magnitude with a specific number. It’s a 4.3, apparently. The magnitude of the quake will most likely be discussed. A decision won’t be made for a couple of days.

Most didn’t recognize it had been an OK earthquake

The media and social networks are all saying the very same thing. The earthquake had been minor in Oklahoma. Most individuals who felt the earthquake did not even realize that it was, in fact, a quake. Some say the shaking felt like a strong wind. A settling of the ground was one more explanation. They were all different.
