A magnitude 4.4 earthquake shook much of Kansas and Oklahoma late Friday afternoon, leaving people to share their stories about the unusual shaking. The earthquake was centered near Medford, Okla., in north central Oklahoma, at a depth of five miles. A survey of social media traffic indicates that residents in all towns of Montgomery County felt the brief earthquake. The United States Geological Survey’s survey intensity map shows residents as far north as Overland Park, Kan., and as far as south as Wichita Falls, Texas, felt this earthquake. While mild tremors have been felt in recent years in southeast Kansas, Friday’s earthquake had a more violent motion, with many people feeling their offices and homes shaking for a few seconds.
