Magnitude 4.1 earthquake shakes San Francisco Bay Area

A long-lasting quake made itself felt in both the Oklahoma City and Tulsa metro area Monday afternoon.

The epicenter was about 9 miles east of Cherokee, Okla., near the Kansas border, but residents reported feeling it in several states, including Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. As of 3:27 a.m., there have been eight aftershocks since 2:41 a.m., the strongest being a measure 2.7.

There was also a report of power flickering during the event.

The Emergency Management Director for Alfalfa County is still collecting reports.

A 4.0 natural disaster struck near Fremont, Calif., early Tuesday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The quake was followed about 30 minutes later by a 3.2-magnitude quake about 115 miles away near Pawnee and a 4.0 quake northeast of Cherokee.

All three earthquakes were about 3 miles deep.

There are no immediate reports of any damage.

But another Twitter user, JRehling, was less alarmed, writing: ‘That was the first natural disaster I’ve felt in San Francisco since the Napa quake in August 2014.
