Oklahoma Becomes "Earthquake Central"
Sunday, November 6, 2011 at 9:56PM
Another strong earthquake hit the state of Oklahoma on Saturday, days after a quake hit the central part of the state and a series of aftershocks followed.
The 5.6-magnitude earthquake's epicenter, located 44 miles east of Oklahoma City , was felt as far away as Wisconsin and South Carolina, but there were no serious injuries, officials said. The Oklahoma health department reported two minor injuries, neither requiring hospitalization.
The largest earthquake previously recorded in Oklahoma was a 5.5-magnitude tremor in 1952, according to the Geological Survey.
