An earthquake rattled central Oklahoma tonight, reportedly damaging multiple buildings in Cushing, about 50 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, and felt as far away as Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake hit at 7:44 p.m. The USGS initially measured the quake at 5.3 magnitude, but later revised the measure to 5.0.

According to the Cushing Fire Department, numerous buildings were damaged, but Cushing police said there were no reports of injuries.

Cushing, a town of about 7,900, is home to the Cushing Tank Farm, a massive oil storage facility that's touted as the world's largest.

According to USGS data, there have been 19 earthquakes in Oklahoma in the past week, including a 4.5 magnitude earthquake struck the northern part of Oklahoma last week, with an epicenter near Pawnee.

There has been a spike in powerful earthquakes throughout the Midwest in recent years, which scientists say is linked to fracking.

The USGS recorded 1,010 earthquakes of a magnitude 3.0 or greater in the region last year, nearly three times as many as the 318 temblors of this magnitude in 2009. Oklahoma alone felt 619 quakes of a magnitude 2.8 or larger
from January through June of this year.
