Witness location : Shawnee (USA) (36 km SW from epicenter)

Time : T0+ 797 min

The house literally swayed back and forth, lights/ceiling fans were swinging, figurines and vases and other objects were falling off shelves in office (north east corner of house). Things falling off the walls and shelves upstairs, chimes hanging from ceiling fan chimed and swang even after the noise stopped. Very loud deep rumbling roar brought us to the edge of our seats where we just sat frozen as the house started moving back and forth rather violently seemed as tho it went on at least a full minute or so but seemed like forever,  was too scared to actually notice duration by clock. Felt most of the aftershocks but the one at 3:42 was the loudest it sounded like something slammed into the outside of  the house and then it was a rumbling vibration. Very scary very very unnerving.

There was a loud rattling noise that increased in intensity.  My pictures in the dining room were shaking.  My dog jumped up in my lap and wouldn't leave.  It began to shake worse and I was jolted from side to side for a couple of seconds.  I was just sitting on the couch after a football game.  I think it may have lasted about 40 seconds and then abruptly stopped. Was weird for Oklahoma.  I remember feeling a small one as a child, but this was much stronger.
