I've never one that bad over here."It woke me out of a dead sleep. I felt the whole house shaking. I jumped and ran outside to see what was going on."The early-morning quake had been followed by at least 40 aftershocks up to magnitude-3.4, Oklahoma Geological Survey seismologist Austin Holland told The Oklahoman.At 5.6-magnitude, the evening temblor surpassed a 5.5-magnitude quake near El Reno in 1952.
