Three Quakes Shake Oklahoma Within An Hour

Three earthquakes have shaken parts of central and northern Oklahoma in less than one hour.

The U.S. Geological Survey said all three quakes were recorded Monday between 12:10 p.m. and 1:08 p.m.

The first was recorded about six miles north-northwest of Perry in Noble County, about 60 miles north of Oklahoma City. Geologists say the 2.6 magnitude earthquake occurred at a depth of about three miles.

The second temblor was recorded just 15 minutes later at 12:25 p.m. about nine miles northeast of Edmond. Geologists say the 3.3 magnitude earthquake was recorded at a depth of about three miles.

The most recent quake was recorded about 13 miles west of Perry. The 2.7 magnitude temblor occurred at a depth of about four miles.

No damage or injuries were immediately reported.
