Well I guess we felt the OK earthquake at her apartment early this morning. I didn't even know there was an earthquake, I guess that's what happens when I go to bed without watching the morning news.    I didn't feel it at work but my work is further north than where we live.  My boyfriend felt it though and so did Chacho. My boyfriend was playing one of his video games and had his feet propped up on the tv stand and both his chair and the tv started shaking. At first he thought he had just bumped the tv or something but when Chacho freaked out he started to doubt it and when his mom texted him asking if he felt that too then he pretty much ruled out it being caused by him. 

That's crazy. Feeling an earthquake in Kansas. Crazy crazy.  I'm just glad there were no reports of any injuries in Oklahoma caused by the earthquake or its after shocks.

Did anyone feel it too? I guess the initial earthquake happened around 2am, that's what my boyfriend felt.

lol if I wasn't at work I probably wouldn't have felt it either. If I was home I would have been asleep at that time too lol

I didnt know there was one either! But I haven't had the tv on much today.  Just the Weather Channel for a few minutes this morning while getting dressed.  I have some friends in OK but neither reported it on facebook that I saw.

There was just another earthquake nears Sparks, OK.  It was magnitude 5.2 and we had a bunch of guests from the 3rd and 4th floor of the hotel I work at and my sister felt it at her house as well.  A guest that was watching a movie at a near by theatre felt it too, which means my boyfriend felt it too since he's a manager there and is working at the moment.   Everyone I spoke to said it lasted about 30 seconds.

Once again I did not feel it. I think its because since I have so many floors above me that it stablizes the ground floor so it doesn't really shake.  I'm wondering if Oklahoma is going to get more earthquakes throughout the next few days. Hopefully they don't increase in magnitude though. We'll see.

Oklahoma stay safe!

Wow clear up there? I didn't think it would be felt that far away!   Yeah my sister was sitting on the couch doing homework at her house when she felt it. She had just been complaining a few hours earlier how she slept through the one that happened at 2:15AM but now she's admitting that finally feeling an earthquake freaked her out
