Oklahoma City Region Shaken by Two Early Morning Earthquakes Near Calumet

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Residents west of the metro were shaken awake early Monday when two earthquakes struck near Calumet just minutes apart, according to the Oklahoma Geological Survey .

Details of the Twin Quakes

The first quake, a 2.7 magnitude tremor, occurred around 3:15 a.m., followed by a 3.3 magnitude quake just ten minutes later. Both quakes were centered 7 kilometers east-northeast of Calumet in Canadian County, striking at shallow depths of just over one kilometer.

“Community intensity reports rated the larger quake at level IV, meaning it was felt by several people indoors but unlikely to cause damage,” the survey confirmed.

Shaking Felt Across the Region

Residents reported light shaking as far away as El Reno and parts of western Oklahoma City, though no injuries or structural damage have been confirmed.

“The quick succession of quakes highlights Oklahoma’s continued seismic activity, which has been linked in past years to wastewater injection tied to oil and gas operations,” experts noted.

Safety Guidance From Officials

Emergency managers urged residents to take simple safety steps, even during minor seismic activity.

“Keep heavy items secured, know safe spots inside your homes, and be prepared for aftershocks,” officials advised.

Though Monday’s tremors were relatively minor, the potential for additional quakes in the coming days remains possible.

Oklahoma continues to experience frequent low-magnitude earthquakes, serving as a reminder for communities to stay prepared. For more seismic updates and community safety news, visit ChicagoMusicGuide.com.
