An earthquake was recorded east of Oklahoma City late Friday night, and it was recorded as having a 5-point-1 preliminary magnitude.   That would be the fourth largest in Oklahoma history.

The U.S. Geological Survey pinpointed the quake at being about 50 miles east of Oklahoma City near the town of Prague. There were also two smaller quakes with a 2-point-6 and 3-point-5 preliminary magnitude.

The USGS says the quakes were felt as far away as Wichita, Kansas.   There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
