A 4.4-magnitude earthquake rattled a large part of Kansas and Oklahoma Thursday afternoon, just one day after residents had been ducking for cover from tornado warnings and severe thunderstorms.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck at 1:01 p.m. CDT. The epicenter was 7 miles east-southeast of Harper, Kansas, or about 43 miles southwest of Wichita, Kansas. There have been no immediate reports of damage. Wichita television station KAKE-TV said officials near the epicenter in Harper County, Kansas, reported no known damage.
Shaking was felt in Wichita as well as in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma; the latter is some 135 miles from the epicenter. One local television meteorologist in Tulsa dubbed it a "thunderquake" due to thunderstorms occurring at the same time:
