People across Wichita and south-central Kansas are saying on social media that they felt a earthquake rattle the area late Monday morning. Reports started rolling in on Twitter and Facebook shortly after 11 a.m. The United States Geological Survey’s earthquake map says the quake was centered about seven kilometers — or 4.3 miles — northwest of Medford, Oklahoma, not far from the Kansas-Oklahoma state line. It was about 7.8 kilometers deep and had a magnitude of 4.5, according to the USGS. The earthquake’s epicenter was about 75 miles south of Wichita. But it was strong enough to make the ground shake across the city for several seconds, causing a flurry of online posts.
