(Update 8:32-a.m. Aftershock felt just before 8-a.m. 9.3 miles NW of Pawnee, OK, 3.6 magnitude, about 1.1 miles deep)

CHICAGO (AP) – An earthquake has rattled a swath of the Great Plains, from Iowa and Nebraska to as far south as northern Texas. The temblor shockwave was felt in Atlantic, Brayton, Des Moines and Omaha at around 7:05-a.m.. KJAN received several phone calls from residents saying their lights were swaying and they felt a rumble. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake happened at 7:02-a.m., and measured 5.6 on the Richter Scale and was centered about 8.5-miles northwest of Pawnee, Oklahoma. It occurred at a depth of about 4-miles, or very shallow by most standards. It also tweeted that aftershocks may occur. (One aftershock felt just before 8-a.m. 9.3 miles NW of Pawnee, OK, 3.6 magnitude, about 1.1 miles deep)

The light blue dot on the map is the epicenter of the initial quake that happened at 7:02-a.m. CDT 9/3/16

Sean Weide in Omaha, Nebraska, said he’d never been in an earthquake before and thought he was getting dizzy. Weide said he and one of his daughters “heard the building start creaking” and said it “was surreal.” People in Kansas City, Missouri; Fayetteville, Arkansas; and Norman, Oklahoma, all reported feeling the earthquake. Dallas TV station WFAA tweeted that it felt the quake, too.

More than 80 percent of the state’s corn and soybean fields were rated in “good” or “excellent” condition at the start of this week and one weather experts says the 2016 growing season “has turned out pretty well” for Iowa farmers. State Climatologist Harry Hillaker says crop development is about a week to a week-and-a-half ahead of normal. “Things for the most part got planted on a timely basis, with exceptions in far western Iowa that had a pretty mid-April and early May, but otherwise in much of the state things got planted on time. It’s been a relatively warm growing season, so things that did get planted on time have been progressing along very well.”

Yield prospects are “looking quite good” for most of the state, according to Hillaker. “A few places still a bit on the dry side, but nothing really super dry at this point,” Hillaker says. “Certainly northwest Iowa could use some rain, although it’s getting late enough in the growing season that it may still, perhaps, help out the soybean, but probably too late to have any benefit for the corn crop in that part of the state.”

A small area stretching from Onawa to just northwest of Sac City got NO rainfall at all last week, while nearly nine inches fell near Decorah. About nine-tenths of an inch is the normal amount of rainfall in Iowa for the final week of August.
