5.1 and 3.9 magnitude earthquakes recorded in Oklahoma

The epicenter of the first quake, which struck at 11:07 a.m., was located approximately 17 miles north of Fairview, Oklahoma.

The United States Geological Survey reports two earthquakes centered near Fairview, Oklahoma occurred shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday morning. The TV station said no injuries or damages had been reported.

Mary Fallin last month approved the use of almost $1.4 million in state emergency funds for state agencies working to reduce the number of earthquakes linked to the wastewater disposal.
