Sadie wanted to know if you all got your clocks set back to Standard Time Saturday night (or early Sunday Morning) after the rumbling of easthquakes and aftershocks this last weekend in Oklahoma.

AND . . . What about those earthquakes that rumbled through central Oklahoma and Lincoln county near Sparks, Oklahoma this weekend? Were you one of many that felt the vibrations throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, northern Texas and Missouri?

Did you know that in 1952, April 9, there was an earthquake around El Reno that measured 5.5.

We hear tell the Saturday evening quake measured in at a magnitude of 5.6 as an aftershock of the Saturday early morning 4.7 foreshock, that began the Oklahoma quakes at 2:13am in the morning.

Those in Alva and Cherokee in the northwest part of the state felt the evening quake vibrations as their homes vibrated from east to west for about 3 seconds and even shook some in their recliners.

The 5.6 magnitude earthquake seems like a big one for the Oklahoma area. NW Okie remembers feeling a 1 magnitude quake that was felt in the northwestern portion of Oklahoma about 1995 when she was out at McGill Sisters West Lakes office, west edge of Alva, Oklahoma.

The aftershock at 10:53pm, Saturday evening struck shortly afterward OSU Pokes (52) won their College football battle with Kansas State (45) and viewers were leaving the stadium. Just joking . . . I knew that was a rough, wild game, but did the football rumble between OSU and KSU have anything to do with the 5.6 quake . . . NOT! By the way, that was a great game! Hope it moves the OSU Pokes up to second or first place at least.

Good Night & Good Luck!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
