OKLAHOMA CITY — The U.S. Geological Survey said a 3.2-magnitude earthquake rattled northeastern Oklahoma County on Wednesday.

USGS said the quake struck shortly after midnight. The earthquake's epicenter was four miles southwest of Arcadia, six miles northwest of Jones and 14 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.

Some residents of Jones said they were awakened by the quake, but authorities said there are no reports of injuries or structural damage.

Last year, Oklahoma saw 95 earthquakes with a magnitude of 1.8 or higher. A record-breaking 5.6-magnitude earthquake hit Oklahoma in November 2011, damaging dozens of homes and businesses.
