No articles up on this yet, but I felt it here in Ottawa County, in extreme NE Oklahoma; the epicenter appears to have been near Sparks OK (35.5993,-96.7515), about 150 miles southwest of Miami. It happened (or at least rolled in here) about 25 minutes ago.
First strong one I've felt since one in L.A. in 1978, which wasn't quite this strong, or at least didn't feel like it. This one caused a low rumbling sound for several seconds, gave the earth a good shake, and rocked the (heavy) futon my dog and I were on. Bobbles started growling and barking.

Aha! Finally an article. Very difficult to access Tulsa World or OKC Daily Oklahoman news sites right now, as one would expect.

5.2 earthquake hits central Oklahoma after earlier shakers (MSNBC)
OKLAHOMA CITY — A 5.2 magnitude earthquake shook central Oklahoma late Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake was very shallow at 3.1 miles deep and occurred at 10:53 p.m. Central Daylight Time, the USGS said. It was centered about four miles east of the city of Sparks, or about 45 miles east of Oklahoma City.
See a USGS map showing where quake struck
The quake came after at least three earthquakes shook much of the same area early Saturday.
