At 11:04. Anyone else feel it?
I still remember that blizzard. I think it was in either 87 or 88. Just West of Pratt, the Highway Patrol stopped all traffic and turned it around.
I had a 4wd pickup and thought that I wish they would let me go as I could make it. When they finally opened the road, I was astounded how deep some of the drifts were. At Ford, KS about 18 miles East of Dodge City, I saw 18 wheelers with just the edge of the trailer peeking out from the snow.
Around a week later, I made the same trip and believe it or not, the exact same thing happened again. This time I decided to try to make it by going South through Sublette. I ended up spending all day in my pickup before they finally opened the highway to Garden City. Again there were places where the drifts were 20 feet deep.
Yep, felt it here in Sand Springs, OK (west of Tulsa). Probably at least a 5, based on power and amount of shaking.
Felt it in OKC. Registered 5.1 centered in Major County Oklahoma....
Nothing here in Northern California even-though we had our numerous shares.
Yet the mysterious question is - why do people call the police when they feel a quake?
Nothing here in Washington (state).
Initial was 5.1. 3.9 aftershock 10 minutes later according to News9 OKC.
Oklahoma...where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain, And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet, When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Didn’t notice it here, but I just got out of the shower. (May go over the heads of the noobs.)
The 5.4 wasn’t the most recent. The latest one was 3.9 .
I felt something here in New York City around that time. But it turned out to be a passing truck.
Darlin and I did! I’m guessing about a 4? Perceptible, but not bad.We are in northern Oklahoma. It lasted several seconds.

5.1 at 11:07 centered 16 miles NW of Fairview, Oklahoma. Source is USGS. Reported as far away as Minnesota and South Texas. I am much closer and did not feel it. I was outdoors trimming trees for the wife!

Yeah the 3.9 was an aftershock. Hope that is the end of it for a while. I don’t need anymore plumbing bills!
Wow. Didn't feel a thing here in NW Iowa.
No, California is very calm and full of fog today
