The 4.3 magnitude quake was recorded at 3:14 a.m. about 13 miles northeast of Cherokee,about 100 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.

Other quakes include a magnitude 2.8 and a magnitude 3.1 that were both recorded shortly after 4 a.m. about one mile southeast of Pawnee. The third and fourth quake include a magnitude 3.4 and a magnitude 3.0 about 13 miles west of Perry recorded at 9:48 a.m. and shortly after 10 a.m. Sunday morning.
