Email from Melissa Fair in Pryor:

I live in Pryor and it woke my 8 month old baby and I up this morning. I thought maybe a water line broke and a backhoe was outside digging. I looked and seen nothing.

We are located just South of Tulsa, in Mounds off of 181st at GoBob Pipe & Steel, We felt the building shake and stuff rattle around. It was very uneasy feeling.

B.S. Joseph sent us an email from South Tulsa:

I was sitting at my desk at work (71st & Memorial) and suddenly felt very strange. Finally I realized the ground was shaking and I noticed a cup of water on my desk was rippling. I thought it was maybe the wind shaking the building but 5 minutes later a co-worker rushed in and told me about the earthquake. What an eerie feeling. I can't imagine being present during a large earthquake. The earthquake simulators see at zoos and museums that you can stand on do no justice to the real thing.

Felt in downtown Bartlesville at the ConocoPhillips offices.

Good morning. My co-worker and I were working in a house that is made into a medical clinic at a company called Zeeco in Coweta.
