A series of earthquakes struck Oklahoma from Friday evening into Saturday morning, with at least two of them measuring 4.4 magnitude, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and local ABC News affiliate KOCO.

The first 4.4 magnitude earthquake occurred around four miles west of Arcadia, followed by two smaller earthquakes measuring 2.7 and 2.5 magnitude, respectively, as reported by the USGS. The seismic activity continued on Saturday morning, with a 2.6 magnitude earthquake near Acadia at 4:45 a.m. CT. Approximately one hour later, another 4.4 magnitude earthquake struck near Edmond, just north of Oklahoma City.

Fortunately, there have been no reports of damages or injuries resulting from these earthquakes, stated the USGS. The agency also explained that earthquakes with magnitudes of 4.9 or lower typically cause disturbances that can be felt indoors, while earthquakes measuring 5.0 or higher tend to cause actual damage.

The Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) released a statement alerting residents to the high seismic hazard in the area and advising them to secure valuables that may be affected by potential aftershocks. The OGS also emphasized the importance of practicing safety measures such as "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" during potentially damaging events.

While these recent earthquakes did not reach the magnitude of the state's most powerful record, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake near Pawnee on September 3, 2016, they serve as a reminder of the ongoing seismic activity in the region. In response, the Pawnee Nation filed a lawsuit in March 2017, accusing some Oklahoma oil companies of injecting wastewater underground, which allegedly contributed to the earthquake.

As seismic activity continues to be monitored in Oklahoma, residents are reminded to stay alert and prepared for potential aftershocks or future earthquake events.
