    The earthquake was in Central Oklahoma. The magnitude was 5.6. Their last major earthquake was in 1952! I learned that they experience dozens of aftershocks. The earthquakes were felt as far away as Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas. The big earthquake happened on a Sunday.

    People in Central Oklahoma experienced the earthquake on Saturday and the aftershocks on Sunday. The magnitude of the earthquake was 5.6. Oklahoma's last major earthquake dated all the way back to April 9, 1952. I learned that there were about 30 aftershocks that came after the earthquake. These aftershocks could be felt by people in Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and Tennessee.

    @ Brett Kron,
    I can't believe some states such as Kanasas and Texas could feel the earthquake from far away! It must have been really bad. I wonder if people had to evacuate because the earthquake was so bad? Or if anyone got hurt?

    Since the aftershocks were so big, I'm surprised Ohio or Indiana didn't feel the aftershock!

    @ Jalynn Johnson,
    Jalynn I do no believe it is possible for states that far away to feel the earthquake. Thanks for the thought though(: Maybe it is possible. You should do some research.

    The 5.6 magnitude earthquake took place in Central Oklahoma. It was the strongest earthquake ever in the state of Oklahoma since 1952. There were about ten 3.0 magnitude aftershocks about 24 hours after the actual earthquake occurred. I learned that some of the tremors were felt as far away as Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Texas.

    No, I didn't hear about the earthquake in Oklahoma until today. The 5.6 magnitude quake took place in about the center of Oklahoma. It was the largest magnitude earthquake that Oklahoma had felt since the 1950s. There were many aftershocks from this earthquake, the average magnitude of them all being about 3.0 on the Richter Scale. I learned that some of the aftershocks were felt from over 200 miles away and they (aftershocks) were felt in the states of Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas.

    I heard about the earth quake from my dad last night over the phone. He lives in northern Kansas. He told me that they felt it in Wichita, Kansas which is in the southern part of the state near Oklahoma.
    the earth quake struck Central Oklahoma around 11:53 there time and 12:53 here.
    It was a 5.6 magnitude. Yes there were many after shocks. Oklahoma has not had a earthquake like this since April 9th of 1952 at a high of 5.5

    The earthquake was in central Oklahoma and the earthquake was a 5.6 magnitude! There have been about 10 aftershocks all measuring to be around a 3.0 magnitude. This has been Oklahoma's strongest earthquake recorded. I also learned that this earthquake happened where a 4.7 magnitude earthquake happen just hours earlier.
