Two 4.2 magnitude Oklahoma quakes shake Wichita, south-central Kansas
Two earthquakes centered in northern Oklahoma gave Wichita and south-central Kansas a shake on Sunday.
The first shook at about 5:17 p.m. on Sunday. The United States Geological Survey reported it as a 4.2 magnitude quake centered 11 miles from Enid, Okla. If you felt this one, you can report it by clicking here.

Many people posted that they felt one — or both — of the earthquakes.
“Haven’t felt an earthquake like that in Wichita in awhile!” one person tweeted.

On Facebook, some said they felt their furniture shaking during the earthquakes.
“....I am in my recliner and both of us were just moving on the floor,” one person commented on The Eagle’s post.
“Felt it in Emporia,” another wrote. “Watching the race laying in the bed. Bed was shaking West to east several times!”
