did anyone feel that? Happened about 9:08 am. I have already spoken to people from Stillwater to Broken Arrow that all felt that.
Yes, I did, and my wife called me said the same thing
I didn't but my daughter just called me from OKC and said it was strong there. Shook her building at 6th and Classen and rattled fixtures in the office.
We all felt it downtown. I saw on twitter others felt it in OKC. That's a pretty wide radius for an Oklahoma earthquake. Was it two simultaneous ones or maybe a strong one epicentered between OKC & Tulsa? Haven't seen anything on the USGS website yet. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/
yep it was....
made a picture move on our dining room wall...
Dangit, I was preoccupied with a conf call and trying to wake up with coffee so I missed it here in Owasso <ripped!>
Epicenter appears to have been 6 miles east of Norman. 4.5 Magnitude, pretty strong for Oklahoma.

I certainly felt it at 71st and Lewis, but I'm on the second floor.

2nd floor of the old Oxy Center (at 46th/129th E) and definitely felt it. Like someone jumping up and down right next to me.
Shook our building downtown pretty good. My monitors were dancing across my desk and I was beginning to wonder if I was have a bad flashback.
Then it stopped.
According to GE, here is the epicenter just off of Thunderbird Lake.

Felt it on the 3rd floor at 7th & Detroit.
Felt nothing in S. Tulsa/Bixby
I'm digging out of the rubble. . . a marker fell over on my mouse as I was typing. . .I'll be ok.
I felt my desk shake out here in Claremore...
I actually thought it was a raccoon trying to get through some screening I had placed over a gable vent.
Felt it here at Riverside/Jones Airport. 2nd story.
I live near 71st & Lewis. Couch started shaking and heard stuff rattling in the kitchen. I thought I had moved back to California.
Yep, 3 or 4 long wavelength shakes at 15th/Harvard. It felt like someone had jumped to the floor from a few feet up. It was pretty weak, despite my house being on fill. It didn't wake my house guest, anyway.
It shook my office near 71st & Yale. Felt like a large object had been dropped. Damage and injuries reported in Norman.
I was in Bricktown, OKC at the time. I heard a train horn about that time and thought it was from the train but the ceiling lights were swaying as well. I got a text from FMC a few minutes later, she thought a Mack truck had hit her office building near 12th & Robinson in Norman.
Earthquake rating upgraded to magnitude 5.1
An earthquake that struck central Oklahoma today was the second-strongest in the state's history, the Oklahoma Geological Survey reported. No significant damage or serious injuries have been reported with the quake, which was felt in three states.
It woke me up out here in North Tulsa country. I think the guy that I'm staying with slept through it.
It was odd. I had a couple doors and windows open and at the same time the house started shaking the wind had picked up. Would have thought it was a tornado had the sun not been out lol. Then got a bit mad for I thought..."alright one of those big ol construction trucks must have just gone down the street again" and jumped up to take a look. They are working on that highway bridge over Darlington near my house and they are always banging away, trucks going by, etc. Then later thought, hmmm perhaps it was another earthquake. Second one I have felt this year. This one shook the house a lot more than the last one.
Don't know if any of you have seen this but a Youtube blogger was recording his college footbal picks and caught it.

Something else should be moving, the boxes on the fridge, the leaves on the plant, etc. and the camera was shaking before the quake, so im having trouble believing this was actually taped during the earthquake.
I'm so disappointed - I work downtown and did not feel a thing.
My wife said the Earth moved....and it didn't do much for my ego, lemme tell ya.
Sorry folks....That was me and my new Zimbabwe bride......
Usually such photos are associated with tornadoes here in Oklahoma.
Thought you guys would like to see some of the devastation from the earthquake this morning. Apparently this was taken just over the epicenter...

I caught that one from the "I survived the 2010 quake" FB page. Awesome humor!
