Crews are surveying extensive damage left behind from a 5.0 of magnitude earthquake in Payne County.

In downtown Cushing, there is everything from moderate to severe damage. Cushing emergency crews said in a news conference last night they were concerned about those buildings because they were built in the early 1900s.

They said there were some gas leaks but those have been contained and a few people suffered only minor injuries. No problems were reported at hospitals or hotels in the area, though.

Emergency management crews say they plan on an update Monday morning at 9.
