“[My son] was in the bed and it moved with him in it. My daughter slept through it,” said Stacia Stanberry who lives two miles from the epicenter.
5.1 magnitude earthquake shakes up Oklahoma
Friday night’s earthquake caused a ruckus in Stacia Stanberry’s home.
“Some of our canned goods fell and hit the floor, antique butter dishes things like that just crushed on the floor,” said Stanberry.
Even her refrigerator moved about four inches away from the wall.
Miles away, the quake was also felt by Kathy Bryan who was watching TV when the ground began shaking.
“It scared to me to death. It scared her, she started barking and if I could’ve barked I would’ve,” said Bryan.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission said there’s a likely culprit for all the rattling.
