Shortly after 7 AM Central, Saturday morning, September 3, 2016, a
5.6-magnitude quake hit centered about 9 miles northwest of Pawnee, Oklahoma,
at the cluster of yellow and green markers on this USGS map. Buildings and houses
shook from Kansas City, MO to Dallas, TX, to Fort Smith, ARK. The Pawnee County
Sheriff’s Dept. reports structural fires, including a barn, near Pawnee. Only one
other 5.6M quake in the region hit Prague, Lincoln County, Oklahoma, in November 2011.
Fracking oil and natural gas in Oklahoma has been linked to a large increase in 3.0M quakes.
