I felt my desk shake out here in Claremore...

I actually thought it was a raccoon trying to get through some screening I had placed over a gable vent.

I live near 71st & Lewis. Couch started shaking and heard stuff rattling in the kitchen. I thought I had moved back to California.

Yep, 3 or 4 long wavelength shakes at 15th/Harvard. It felt like someone had jumped to the floor from a few feet up. It was pretty weak, despite my house being on fill. It didn't wake my house guest, anyway.

It shook my office near 71st & Yale.  Felt like a large object had been dropped.  Damage and injuries reported in Norman.

I was in Bricktown, OKC at the time. I heard a train horn about that time and thought it was from the train but the ceiling lights were swaying as well. I got a text from FMC a few minutes later, she thought a Mack truck had hit her office building near 12th & Robinson in Norman.

Earthquake rating upgraded to magnitude 5.1
An earthquake that struck central Oklahoma today was the second-strongest in the state's history, the Oklahoma Geological Survey reported. No significant damage or serious injuries have been reported with the quake, which was felt in three states.

It woke me up out here in North Tulsa country.  I think the guy that I'm staying with slept through it.

  It was odd.  I had a couple doors and windows open and at the same time the house started shaking the wind had picked up.  Would have thought it was a tornado had the sun not been out lol. Then got a bit mad for I thought..."alright one of those big ol construction trucks must have just gone down the street again" and jumped up to take a look.  They are working on that highway bridge over Darlington near my house and they are always banging away, trucks going by, etc. Then later thought, hmmm perhaps it was another earthquake.  Second one I have felt this year. This one shook the house a lot more than the last one.

Don't know if any of you have seen this but a Youtube blogger was recording his college footbal picks and caught it.

Something else should be moving, the boxes on the fridge, the leaves on the plant, etc.  and the camera was shaking before the quake, so im having trouble believing this was actually taped during the earthquake.
