JONES, Okla. (AP) A 4.0 magnitude earthquake has been recorded near Jones in central Oklahoma.
The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the quake at 9:18 a.m. Friday about 17 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.
Seismologist Austin Holland of the Oklahoma Geological Survey said the quake was felt in Midwest City, Jones and surrounding areas but no damage or injuries have been reported.
Ryan Dragg says he was jolted by the quake where he works on the ninth floor of the VA Medical Center in Oklahoma City. He says he and a co-worker briefly left the building.
