There have now been 47 earthquakes and aftershocks recorded in Oklahoma this year with 40 of those measuring at least a 2.0 magnitude. Quakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3 are generally the smallest felt by people.
Geological survey officials say the earthquakes are part of a phenomenon called a swarm and do not appear to present a serious threat.
