East of OKC. I felt it as a sudden jolt and loud noise. Came and went fast but I’m like 60-70 miles away. Other states felt too.

I’m about 20 miles west of the epicenter. Lasted about 10-15 seconds and shaking was enough to rattle the walls. Probably the biggest I’ve felt since the one we had in November 2011. Always remember it because LSU Bama was that night.

The significant M5.1 earthquake that just occurred west of Oklahoma City is tied for Oklahoma's 4th strongest earthquake in recorded history. USGS states that there is a 58% chance of at least one M3+ aftershock.

I felt it in DFW. My place wasn't shaking...more like swaying/rolling. Nothing too crazy, but definitely not subtle either.

Oh my god I thought I was going crazy

Random shaking that should not have been happening… my first earthquake I guess technically. Nothing serious in the metro where I am tho.

I read it happened along the Wilzetta Fault Line. I went to the map and saw something interesting and wonder if it could be the factor or a contributing factor? If so, it is not wise to have a pipeline along a fault line. I was asleep so I didn’t feel it.
