    I felt nothing down in Ardmore. I'm used to earthquakes being from LA, but it must not have been very strong.

      It was probably fairly weak down here in Ardmore though.

    I wouldn't call a 4.7 earth quake minor....
    I wonder if the fault lines are about to become more active....there was a MAJOR quake a long time ago.

      Yellowstone is more than 1000 miles away. It could only be considered local on a galactic scale.

    I apparently slept right through it. What's with all the earthquakes around here lately? I didn't think we were near a fault line.

    I am just east of Rogers AR and it sounded like a thump on the house & rattled a metal wall decoration in the bedroom. Looked at the clock – said 2:12. Now I know what it was.

    I am from Muskogee Oklahoma and my wife woke me up to tell me about it last night. I looked at her funny and made fun of her thinking she dreamed it!! I am eating crow this morning and now have to go to the grocery store with her. I never go to the grocery store!! This is the third one this year! I had better make sure I am covered for earthquakes on my insurance policy!! LOL

    I have a friend who lives near Tulsa and she reports that "glasses flew out of the cabinets, broken glass all over." Otherwise, they're OK.
