This was the first earthquake with a magnitude greater than 4.0 in Oklahoma since December, 2017, and the largest earthquake in the state since August.
Since 2010, there have been 72 earthquakes in Oklahoma with a magnitude of 4.0 or greater, and Sunday's earthquake will be the 73rd if it is verified.
Through Feb. 2018, we've had 449 quakes in #Oklahoma. Ahead of 2017's pace, but far behind the more active years of 2015 and 2016. Thanks to @TulsaPhilwx for digging up these stats! #okquakes #earthquake @FOX23 @jamesaydelott pic.twitter.com/cYysyD1zhC
