OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Authorities say a 5.2 magnitude earthquake has hit central Oklahoma, but they had no immediate reports of any injuries or major damages.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported from Golden, Colo., on its web site that it monitored a 5.2 magnitude quake at 10:53 p.m. local time Saturday, centered about 44 miles east-northeast of Oklahoma City.

Michelann Ooten, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, also told The Associated Press a 5.2 magnitude quake was recorded.

Authorities have reported a series of quakes on Saturday, including a 4.7 magnitude quake earlier in the day.

Ooten said no injuries were reported to emergency management officials and she had no reports of major damage.
