For some of you West Coasties this may be nothing but it was the first earthquake that I have felt.
Guess I need to go check the foundation of the house!

Glad it wasn't worse. :lifter :) Pretty shallow depth at 3.1 miles! I see there are reports of minor damage, some foundation cracks etc.
Seismic activity related to the Seminole Uplift Structure. A record quake for Oklahoma and reportedly felt as far away as Tennessee. "Record" being a relative term - as in since records have been kept.
I felt it here in kansas as well! The floor was vibrating like there was a washing machine in spin cycle

Here at FT Sill my budys were telling me how I slept through a earthquake last night. It was around 2300 and I was dead asleep in my bunk. I never knew I was that much of a heavy sleeper... They said it was tracked as a 5.6.
Yes, they definitely get your attention, often they are too small to notice, though last month in SF we had two just about 4.0's within 6 hours. They are usually over by the time you realize what is going on.
I use it as an occasion to recheck my go bag, I nearly got caught in the building elevator on the last one, I used the stairs for for the next few days.
Some people have too much time!
Scariest two seconds of my life.
My wife was in the kitchen and hollered, "Did you just do a side straddle hop in the bedroom?"
