Good to know the earth is still functioning predictably.
Even if we can't always predict it.
Thankfully it is still mostly containing its molten core.

Thank you
We are all fine.
Yes some were woken up.
Some damage. No lives as far as I know.
I haven't felt anything all day.
Some areas had to go to higher ground for safety reasons.
I would say they are watching it.

The United States Geological Survey said a 5.6 magnitude earthquake happened at 7:02 a.m. Saturday in north-central Oklahoma, on the fringe of an area where regulators had stepped in to limit wastewater disposal.
