2.7 earthquake shakes the east side of Oklahoma City

An earthquake shook homes across the Oklahoma City area tonight.

The quake, which hit about 8:50 p.m., registered 2.7 on the Richter scale, Amie Gibson, research specialist with the Oklahoma Geological Survey, said.

Most of the calls to emergency dispatchers were centered around the NE 29 and Martin Luther King Ave. area, Oklahoma City fire Deputy Chief Cecil Clay said. The survey received reports from Tinker Air Force Base and residences in Midwest City, Del City and as far as NW 122 and MacArthur Boulevard, Gibson said.

No immediate reports of injuries were received.

Anyone who felt the quake is asked to submit a report of their experience to the geological survey’s Web site at www.okgeosurvey1.gov.
