Hey, guys! I felt an earthquake earlier and its center was kind of far away from where I am. It was a 4.5 earthquake and could be felt up to 50 miles away!   This is the 3rd earthquake I've ever felt. The first one rumbled very loudly before it hit, and scared me to death. It lasted a minute. The second one was bigger and lasted longer and rumbled louder. It lasted long enough for me to run down the stairs and look around for a minute, then my mom pulled me into the doorway she was standing in and we watched pictures fall off of the walls and papers flew everywhere. I'd say that overall, it lasted about 3-5 minutes. The one I felt today didn't scare me, and it only lasted 25 seconds. No damage was done, but my dad didn't know what to do because he had never felt an earthquake. What is going on? Earthquakes in OKLAHOMA?
