If you were woken up earlier than you would have liked Sunday morning after losing an hour to daylight savings time, it may have been due to earthquakes that rattled east Wichita. The Kansas Geological Survey recorded four earthquakes early Sunday morning. … More than 1,600 people reported feeling the strongest earthquake, according to USGS data as of 2 p.m. The vast majority of reports were from south-central Kansas. Additional reports came from near Salina and near Emporia. … The Kansas Corporation Commission previously determined that the swarm of earthquakes in November and December was not related to fracking. “Based on our investigation, KCC staff does not believe the seismicity in Wichita, Kansas is tied to any oil and gas activities in the area,” said Ryan Hoffman, director of the KCC Conservation Division, in a Dec. 23 statement.
