If snow on the ground wasn't enough to get you excited for a Saturday morning in April — maybe the earthquake at 7:16 a.m. did it.

A 4.6 magnitude earthquake hit just west of Perry, Oklahoma, at that time, according to the USGS.

People have reported feeling it from Norman, Oklahoma, to Hutchinson. You can report feeling the earthquake to the USGS here.

It was the third earthquake to shake Perry since 4:48 a.m. The first was a 3.0 magnitude. The second, a 2.5 magnitude, happened at 5:13 a.m., according to the USGS. A fourth earthquake happened near Enid.

Garfield County, Oklahoma Emergency Management Director Mike Honigsberg said there are no immediate reports of injury or serious damage following the quakes.

The threshold for damage usually starts at 4.0. The strongest earthquake on record in Oklahoma was a magnitude 5.8 near Pawnee in September 2016, according to The Associated Press.
