Oklahoma Quake Stirs Bird, Bug or Bat Swarm Seen on Radars   Live Science - November 7, 2011
For weather watchers in Oklahoma - the heart of Tornado Alley - the weekend's record-breaking earthquake created a curious blip on their radar screens. Weather radars at the National Weather Service in Norman, Okla., spotted what looked like bugs, bats or birds (or all three) swarming in the air just after the 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck the state. The quake hit on Saturday (Nov. 5) and was the largest in the state's history. The damage was minimal, but the quake was felt as far away as Chicago. Earlier in the day, a magnitude 4.8 foreshock rumbled in central Oklahoma. The magnitude 5.6 quake struck about 44 miles (71 kilometers) east-northeast of Oklahoma City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
