Was there an earthquake in Dallas-Fort Worth? No, but you might have still felt the effects of one.

A 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook the town of Prague, Okla. In North Texas, according to the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS), some shaking was felt as well.

DALLAS — No you weren't dreaming ... North Texas may have felt some shaking Friday night.

A 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook parts of Oklahoma, near the town on Prague, at 11:54 p.m. on Friday.

Oklahoma is no stranger to earthquakes over the past 10 to 15 years, but this is only sixth 5.0 magnitude or stronger quake since 1952 and the fifth 5.0 or stronger since 2011. In fact, this quake is tied for the 4th-strongest since 1952.

Oklahoma's strongest quake in recent history was a 5.8 magnitude quake that occurred on Sept. 3rd, 2016 near the town of Pawnee, Okla.

Friday night's 5.1 magnitude earthquake was certainly felt throughout central Oklahoma and into the Oklahoma City metro area, which were close to the epicenter. In North Texas, according to the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS), some shaking was felt as well.

No injuries were reported and damage appeared to be minimal, mostly items overturned or shaken from shelves inside homes, according to Lincoln County Deputy Emergency Management Director Charlotte Brown.

“Nothing significant ... nothing other than lots of scared people,” Brown said.
