A 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck outside of Oklahoma City Saturday night.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake hit about 30 miles from Oklahoma City.

It was nearest to Langston, Guthrie, Edmond, and Stillwater, the USGS said.

The quake had a depth of 2.7 miles.

On Twitter, a large number of people said they could feel it.

“Earthquake in Edmond,” one wrote. Added another: “Another earthquake.”

“Apparently we had a 4.4 earthquake. I felt nothing. No one on twitter said anything either. Weird,” tweeted one.

In Oklahoma, quakes have become seemingly more frequent in recent years. In December, there were at least three significant quakes that hit around Oklahoma City.
