MEDFORD, Okla. (AP) — Several earthquakes have been recorded in northern Oklahoma.

The U.S. Geological Survey reports five quakes ranging in magnitude from 2.6 to 3.7 were recorded Saturday in an area between Medford and Cherokee. The epicenters were located from about 20 to about 35 miles north of Enid.

Sheriff's offices in Grant and Alfalfa counties say there are no reports of damage or injury.

Geologists say earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3.0 are general the smallest that are felt by humans and that damage isn't likely in earthquakes below magnitude 4.0
