The quake was
reported 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Pawnee shortly before
11:30 p.m. local time, the agency said.
People in Tulsa, the second-largest city in Oklahoma about 60
miles (95 km) to the east of Pawnee, reported walls shaking and
items moving in their homes, media said.
"Wow it's rocking in Tulsa tonight," said Jody Tidwell on
Twitter.
The tremor comes two months after a magnitude 5.6 quake, one of
the strongest earthquakes ever recorded in Oklahoma, shook the
area, fueling growing concern about seismic activity linked to
energy production.
