Series of Earthquakes Shake Central Oklahoma

No injuries reported but residents urged to take precautions as seismic hazard remains high.

Central Oklahoma experienced a series of earthquakes, including two of 4.4 magnitude, over Friday and Saturday, with the epicenters near the Northeast Edmond Gas and Oil Field and Arcadia.
No injuries or significant damage have been reported, but residents are urged to take precautions as the seismic hazard remains high in the area.
The Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have both acknowledged the seismic events and are monitoring the situation.
The earthquakes occurred in an area known as the Arcadia Field, where previous seismic activities were linked to the underground injection of wastewater, a byproduct of oil and gas production.
The most powerful earthquake recorded in Oklahoma was a 5.8 magnitude event near Pawnee in September 2016.
