A reported 4.0 earthquake shoke me out of bed at about 2:45am! Anyone feel it?

Didn't feel it up here in Idaho.

There was a 2.0 not too far off in Quitman Arkansas yesterday.

Maybe a little swarm starting up?

A small quake can startle you when you're wide awake, let alone when you're asleep. I can only imagine the thoughts that I would have had if I'd been shaken out of a sound sleep!

I'm about 40 miles southwest of Tulsa, and it woke me up. I didn't realize that's what it was at the time, just knew some movement and sound woke me up, then saw the news this morning, and it was at that exact time so must have been it. I heard a bunch of coyotes yipping too...maybe they react like dogs do?

I was a lot closer to the ones a while back, and those really made my place rock and roll, but this was just enough of a disturbance to wake me, but then it was further away and apparently deeper so didn't cause as much movement or noise. It only lasted a few seconds too, whereas those last couple that were closer lasted at least a couple of minutes. Who knew we'd ever have to worry about earthquakes in Oklahoma, lol??

Isn't that the truth? When this woke us up, it was just about what you described too Callie, with the exception of some pictures moving on the walls. Really creepy and scary!

Didn't wake me, but my grand daughter did after it woke her...
