Early reports show some damage to buildings, but there were no initial reports of any injuries.

A 5.6 magnitude earthquake hit Oklahoma early Saturday, causing damage and tremors that were felt from Kansas to Texas. Pawnee Mayor Brad Sewell said that the quake lasted nearly a minute, far longer than previous tremors that have lasted only a second or two.
