Quake centered in central Oklahoma measures 5.1

An earthquake, centered just north of Prague, Oklahoma in the central part of Oklahoma caused shaking but no reported damage late Friday night.

The quake, which was registered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at 11:24 p.m.. measured at 5.1 on the Richter Scale.

If you felt the quake, you are asked to register the impact with the USGS.

Prague is about 57 miles east of Oklahoma City, where residents reported feeling the shaking. Shawnee, Stillwater and Tecumseh residents also felt the earthquake,

The earthquake was shallow — just 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) deep, according to the USGS — and temblors that hit close to the surface can make the shaking more intense.

At least six earthquakes, including two greater than magnitude 4.0, were recorded near another Oklahoma City suburb in January. In April, a magnitude 4.0 earthquake was among a series of six that struck the central Oklahoma town of Carney, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) northeast of Oklahoma City
