M3.6 Earthquake 3 km SE of Meno, Oklahoma — November 4, 2026
2026-11-04 00:48:30 UTC (2 hours ago) · approx. 5:48 PM UTC-7 local
Felt by 12 people across nearby locations. Maximum shaking intensity MMI 4.8 (moderate).
On November 4, 2026 at 00:48 UTC, a magnitude 3.6 shallow crustal earthquake struck 3 km SE of Meno, Oklahoma, at a depth of 6.8 km and coordinates 36.3632°, -98.1537°. The earthquake was reported felt by 12 peopleacross nearby locations, with a maximum shaking intensity of Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) 4.8 (moderate). This earthquake was detected by 92 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 201, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 3.4 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 175 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
The epicenter is located in Oklahoma, a region characterized by induced seismicity from high-volume wastewater injection into the Arbuckle Group formation, which reactivates ancient basement faults. View all earthquakes in Oklahoma.
