My Way News - Earthquakes cause minor damage in central Oklahoma
My Way News reports: "Two early morning earthquakes rattled residents in central Oklahoma on Tuesday and caused minor damage at local businesses. The U.S. Geological Survey reports that a magnitude 3.8 earthquake struck about 2:20 a.m. 3 miles northeast of Harrah, a city of about 5,000 people about 20 miles east of Oklahoma City. That was followed nearly two hours later by a magnitude 3.9 temblor 5 miles northeast of the community."
