2015 Oklahoma Earthquake Discussion - OKCTalk
With some help from Texas, the earthquake lull is over with. Perry, Guthrie, Edmond and Langston areas continue to be the hottest areas with northwest Oklahoma not far behind.
That's something I said last year. Here are some interesting articles just published on the same subject:

At 10:24 pm I felt a strong shock at NW 122 and Council. TV reports it as a 4.0...
It must have been very localized. I live in NW OKC and didn't notice anything.
I was dozing and it woke me up in time to hear a loud "BANG!" followed by a very low diminishing rumble that lasted just a few seconds. My wife said it shook the house but I didn't feel the movement, although that must have been what awakened me.
It had a pretty sudden shaking/noise bit at first, and then a long, lighter rumbling vibration that went on for a few seconds. Felt longer than the other ones we've had for the last few years.
At 11:02 we felt a weaker aftershock; OGS lists it at 3.3 and it rattled glass sliding doors in some display cabinets. Location was approximately the same. USGS shows the first one being 10 km down and the second only 5.
Got a long very noticeable rumble in Edmond by the Sam's Club. No jolt though.
I live just south of Mercy hospital and felt both the really strong jolt at around 10:30 and the weaker aftershock around 20-30 minutes later. I was asleep at the time, and that first jolt was so strong it almost felt like something hit the house.
178th & Western area. Just a large jolt and rumble tapering off. No rumble leading up to it. lasted maybe 3-4 seconds total.
