4.3 magnitude earthquake reported just east of Norman near lake Thunderbird around 0907 this morning. I was in downtown Norman and I thought the building was going to come down.

Got multiple calls from friends and family that felt it in Stillwater and all over the Tulsa metro. I didn't feel a thing here in East Tulsa.

Funny. I never felt a thing, and I'm here in the OKC metro! Didn't even know anything had happened until someone mentioned it to me. Perhaps it happened while I was driving between sites...
The place I was at when someone mentioned it was a school. They apparently had to use their automated phone alert system to tell parents NOT to panic, that the school was NOT damaged, and NOT to come pick up their kids! This was clear over to the west side of the metro - not sure why people were panicking, or thought the school was damaged...!

I was in west Norman at about Main Street and 24th Avenue West. I definitely felt it.
My first thought was that it was an earthquake, but I reasoned that what I felt was too intense to be an Oklahoma earthquake. I had resolved that it was a large truck bouncing along behind the stores to my west. I also had my noise attenuating headset on, so I didn't hear any of the higher frequencies that might have been produced by things rattling around me. When I went around to the front of the house, wildly gesticulating neighbors were outside and when I removed my headset, I discovered there was much discussion going on about the strong earthquake.
When I returned home to Midwest City, I discovered that a tool had worked its way off the hook that it was hanging on and had fallen off the pegboard. It would have taken quite a jolt to cause it to fall.
I'm glad that I added earthquake insurance to my houses during the last review.
