McALESTER, Okla. (AP) _ A small earthquake and two aftershocks rumbled parts of Pittsburg County, the Oklahoma Geological Survey reported. The earthquake happened about 4 p.m. Sunday and measured 3.2 on the Richter scale, said Jim Lawson, chief geophysicist at the Oklahoma Geological Survey.
The first aftershock, measuring 2.6, was six minutes later and a third, 2.1 on the Richter scale, hit at 5:45 p.m.
Reports came into the survey office of people feeling the quake in McAlester, Lamar, Okmulgee, Holdenville and Weleetka.
``We do have occasional earthquakes in this part of the state,'' Lawson said. ``There's usually three a year in that area, but because they're smaller, they're generally not felt by anybody.''
