WICHITA, Kan. —

Multiple earthquakes rattled Wichita on Saturday, with the largest measuring 3.7 on the Richter scale.

That makes the trembler the largest on record in the city in the last five years, although its still is considered relatively small. The threshold for damage usually starts at 4.0.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the earthquake was recorded at 12:47 p.m. with an epicenter near where around a dozen tremblers had been reported in the past month.

The Kansas Geological Survey reported at least two others happened Saturday -- one with a magnitude of 3.0 at 11:42 a.m. and another with a 2.9 magnitude at 12:40 p.m.

A possible fourth and fifth quakes also may have taken place around 12:52 p.m. and 1:18 p.m.

Wichita is near the Nemaha Ridge, or Humboldt Fault line.

Californians laugh at small quakes but cower in fear that tornados drop randomly out of the sky.

So according to that, we've been in the end times since Jesus said this...

I've lived in Tornado Alley for five decades, never seen a tornado in that time but Earthquakes in the last few years have dumped stuff off my mantle and woke me up from sound sleep.

Had another one about an hour ago. I felt it while we were eating at Salt Grass Steakhouse. Not a bad place to eat, made it out of there at about $40 a head. Christmas Shopping is killing me.

Glad the bourbon is okay.

When the grain elevator blew up in Wichita it sounded like a sonic boom.

[scho63]

Fracking is my guess

Nemaha Uplift runs in between Wichita and El Dorado. There have been loud booming sounds with the quakes indicating that the movements are shallow enough that the sound doesn't dissipate before it reaches the surface.

I was about a mile away, straight line down the railroad tracks, when that happened. Your description is very accurate

This has been a series of about 20 small quakes centered around 13th and Greenwich within the city of Wichita. The map below is from Dec 10th, but quakes over the past 10 days have had epicenters in the same general location.
