A really strange feeling. I'm glad they're so rare here.

I felt it here in Gatewood. Anyone else notice it?

KOCO.com says epicenter was at Meridian Ave. & Kilpatrick turnpike, which is like 500 feet from where I live. Newsok.com says it occurred in NE OKC. Hmmm...

"Is this a great state or what?"

The winters here try to freeze us to death or kill us with icy roads.
The summers, insanely hot and humid, try to kill us with heat stroke.
Tornadoes try to scour our homes from the landscape.
Now the Earth wants to swallow us up, or at the very least, shake us to death.
The only thing we're missing is volcanoes!

Bring on the volcanoes! Mason Dunn, get the helicopter ready. I want some good footage. ;-)

I slept right through it. But wondered why the dogs were barking so late. Things were tossed a little in my house. Not a lot, just enough to make sense now that I know! For example, my torch from the halloween parade has sat in the same spot since that event in 2007. It was on the ground and I had to set it back up against the wall. I have a little picture on my kitchen wall that was on the ground. I live at Western and the turnpike.

I live about 3 miles north of kmf. Didn't feel a thing. And I was wide awake working on Christmas decorations. hmmm.....

Guess it really depends on where you live.

I was in a Cali earthquake once, when I spent a summer studying in Monterrey. About a 5.8 quake and the epicenter was about 40 miles from us as I recall. I woke up in the middle of the night as my bed moved from one side of the room to the other. My roommate, a native Californian, slept right through the thing.

I'll take a tornado anyday. At least you know when those are coming!

[kmf563]

hmmm...actually, I didn't feel anything. I felt something around midnight! That's why I said I slept right through it...didn't know the actual earthquake was around 9. So, aftershock maybe?? My dog was just barking at the ground - very strange. Around 9 she did the same thing and we just let her outside. lol.

Maybe it had to do with that alignment of the planets to the moon. Anyone see that one about 6 or 7 last night? Really cool!

Interesting thought FritterGirl. I suppose it could be possible?

[mmonroe]

Apparently, according to maps, it happened just on the NE corner of the Oklahoma Heart Hospital near Mercy.

I wonder if anyone got pictures of that. That's pretty cool. Maybe that explains some of the behavior around the office today. haha.

[jbrown84]

That's crazy. I was near 10th & May around 9:00 p.m. and didn't feel anything.

I saw it, and it was pretty cool. Didn't feel the earthquake though.

I wonder if anyone got pictures of that. That's pretty cool.

I took a couple of pics but I haven't downloaded them yet so I don't know how they came out.

[Karried]

I saw that too... pretty cool!

[metro]

For those who didn't see it, check out the pics from Australia, since they are on the opposite side of the planet, the planets/moon looked like a giant happy face to them.

I just thought my wife stuck another quarter in the bed.
