Is someone trying to tell Oklahoma State Senator Jim Reynolds something ? LOL

Three earthquakes shook the Oklahoma City metro Tuesday afternoon.

The United States Geological Survey reported a 2.4 magnitude earthquake at 3 p.m. south of Norman a couple of hours after two other minor quakes were reported in Oklahoma Senate District 43.

A 2.7 magnitude earthquake occurred at 12:25 p.m. and a 2.5 magnitude quake at 12:41 p.m. near S.E. 15th Street and Bryant Avenue, according to the USGS.

2.7 quake at 12:25 p.m.

2.5 quake at 12:41 p.m.

2.4 quake at 3 p.m.

There were no immediate reports of damage. A 2.5 to 3.0 magnitude quake is normally the smallest felt by humans.

Workers at nearby Tinker Air Force Base reported feeling the quake and noticed desks shaking during the noon quakes.

There have been 13 earthquakes in Oklahoma in the past six months, according to USGS records.

Researchers from Purdue University and Northwestern University say that seismic activity from the the midwestern New Madrid Seismic Zone is shifting to adjacent faults in the nation's midsection, including those in southern Illinois, Arkansas or Oklahoma.

Other scientists called those conclusions premature, in part because the study was based on a relatively narrow time period from the area that remains seismically active.

Earthquake hits Southeast OKC

A minor earthquake was recorded early today in eastern Oklahoma City (Southeast OKC, Moore, Del City). The quake rated 3.4 on the Richter scale at 7:06:39 a.m. (cent) (13:06:39 UTC), the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The epicenter was around I-35 and I-240, and was about 3.5 miles deep.

The funny thing is that the quake was basely in Oklahoma Senate District 43, maybe someone is trying to tell Jim Reynolds something LOL !

Had to run up to my 90 year old aunt house in South OKC to help put some pic back on wall.
