3.2 quake 22 May 12:23 pm (GMT -5)
Just 7 minutes ago, a 3.2-magnitude earthquake struck near McAlester, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, USA. The tremor was recorded around noon on Saturday 22 May 2021 at 12:23 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 3.1 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.2 earthquake as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
