Earthquake Update

By AP

Tulsa, OK – Smaller tremors follow 5.6 magnitude Okla. quake

TULSA, Okla. (AP) Another earthquake has shaken central Oklahoma, nearly two days after an earthquake measuring 5.6 rocked the state.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported a 4.7 magnitude quake centered about 5 miles northwest of Prague struck at 8:46 p.m. Monday. The survey had reported at least five additional tremors since the initial earthquake hit Saturday night.

Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management spokeswoman Keli Cain said she hadn't received any immediate reports of additional damage or injuries from the Monday night quake, which occurred in the same area as the weekend temblor.

Cain says the bulk of damage reports from the Saturday night quake continued to come in from Lincoln, Pottawatomie, Creek and Okfuskee counties.

Oklahoma typically had about 50 earthquakes annually until 2009. Last year, 1,047 quakes shook the state.
