Summary
One of the strongest earthquakes hit Oklahoma on Saturday, November 5th, 2011. The rarest incident caused turmoil at most of the cities. The calling in the police offices never stopped for couple of hours, and people said that they had never experienced such a huge earthquake. A weaker earthquake hit the state before the huge temblor on early time on Saturday. Even the weaker earthquake made people awake in the early morning. The strongest earthquake history at the same area mentioned the magnitude as 5.5 in 1882 and 1952. If the exact magnitude of the earthquake which occurred on November 5th was calculated, it becomes the strongest in the whole history in the area. The earthquake was felt as far away as Tennessee. According to the emergency authorities, only cracks occurred, but there are no immediate reports of injuries or casualties by the earthquake.
