FAIRVIEW, Okla. — A 5.1-magnitude earthquake in northwest Oklahoma was reportedly felt across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Nebraska, Texas and Iowa, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
There were no reports of injury or damage because of the quake that struck just past 11 a.m. Saturday about 17 miles north of Fairview. A second earthquake measured at magnitude 3.9 struck in the same area at 11:17 a.m. The area is about 100 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.
The temblors are the latest in a series of earthquakes linked to the injection of wastewater underground from oil and gas production.
