OKLAHOMA CITY — At least three earthquakes shook much of central Oklahoma early Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

A 4.7 magnitude quake struck at 2:12 a.m. (3:12 a.m. ET), with an epicenter about six miles north of Prague in southern Lincoln County, the USGS reported on its website. That is about 50 miles east of Oklahoma City.

The USGS said a 3.4 magnitude quake was also recorded at 2:27 a.m. and a 2.7 magnitude quake at 2:44 a.m.

People felt rumbling as far away as Oklahoma City, Tulsa and outside of the state in Wichita, Kan. and Kansas City, Mo., NewsOK reported.

"We have a solid house on a slab, and it felt like it was coming apart," Joe Bill Moad, who lives west of Oklahoma City in Yukon, told the newspaper.

Lincoln County sheriff officials said there have been no reports of injuries but several people reported items falling off walls.

Oklahoma City police officials said they have received several 911 calls, but have no reports of injuries or damage.
