Pair of early morning earthquakes in Oklahoma felt in neighboring states

Two earthquakes struck Oklahoma early Thursday morning, with the epicenter located in Lincoln County. The first quake registered as a 4.2 magnitude but was later revised to a 4.0 magnitude by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). It began at 3:57 a.m. and was followed by a 3.3 magnitude quake just 20 minutes later. The epicenter of both earthquakes was located a few miles east of Carney, Oklahoma. Despite being felt across the state, there have been no reports of damage so far.

Residents in neighboring states, such as Arkansas, also felt the tremors. The National Weather Service office in Tulsa reported feeling the quake, but at the time, the magnitude was unknown. USGS has reported a total of twelve earthquakes in Oklahoma within the last 24 hours, with the largest being the 4.0 magnitude quake. The USGS has also stated that earthquakes with magnitudes of three or higher can cause damage to structures, so residents are encouraged to stay alert and prepared in case of further activity.
