4.8 Quake Rocks Kansas and Oklahoma

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

The largest earthquake to shake Kansas since a series of small quakes began to shake the state last year struck Wednesday.

The 4.8 magnitude quake struck about 25 miles southwest of Wichita around 3:40 p.m. local time.  The quake followed a 2.6 magnitude quake on Tuesday.

Sharon Watson of Kansas Emergency Management said only minor damage was reported throughout the region.  One home reportedly had its foundation cracked by an uprooted tree.

Oklahoma officials reported no damage.

Kansas has recorded more than 90 earthquakes since 2013 according to the Kansas Geological Survey.
