It was a 5.6 nears Sparks, OK which is about 20 miles or so NNE of Shawnee, OK.

So that is what it was. I live in the Piedmont/Yukon OK area. The walls & windows were shaking, light fixtures creaking. Sounded like a big gush of wind outside.

I really thought it was a wind storm, but thought Earthquake as well. WOW, now I know.

Felt it (just barely) in North Texas (just north of Dallas). About 3 or 4 seconds of “why am I swaying in my chair?”

About 3 or 4 seconds of “why am I swaying in my chair?”

That's the perfect way to describe it. I was chatting with my brother on Skype after the LSU game and shot him a message saying "ummmmmmmmm my house is moving." I had to think twice about it to make sure I didn't have a brain tumor or something.

Congratations. We haven’t had more that a 4.9 in Tokyo in more than a week. I’m jealous.
