Oklahoma rattled by four Saturday morning earthquakes

A magnitude 4.6 earthquake that rattled Oklahoma on Saturday was also felt in neighboring Kansas and Missouri, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

It was one of four Saturday morning earthquakes recorded in northwest Oklahoma. There were no immediate reports of injury or serious damage.

The largest temblor took place at 7:16 a.m., a few miles outside Covington, a town of around 500 people about an hour north of Oklahoma City. But the USGS website showed the quake was felt in Kansas City, Mo., some 300 miles away, as well as in Joplin, Mo., and Wichita, Kan.

Saturday's quakes were in the same area where four others struck Friday, including one with a reading of magnitude 3.7.

Any gasbag from the Trump administration would fit the bill.

There was also snow on the ground. On April 7 - a week after Easter. Fruit trees were in bloom, most people had planted their gardens. One friend on a limited income saved up money all year to plant and lost everything. Hard to say yet how much of the current crop of livestock feed was damaged. But together with our yearly OK draught, meat prices could skyrocket.
