TL;DR Summary

A magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Prague, Oklahoma, was felt in five states, including Oklahoma City and Tulsa, as well as in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and parts of Texas. The earthquake, which occurred on the same fault as a 2011 earthquake in Prague, was followed by a series of aftershocks, with the state seismologist expecting more to continue in the coming days. The uptick in earthquakes in Oklahoma in recent years has been linked to human activity, including oil and natural gas production.
