Scientists say an earthquake "swarm" continues to affect central Oklahoma nearly two years after a record 5.6-magnitude quake rattled the state. A new report by the U.S. and Oklahoma geological surveys says more than 200 magnitude 3.0 or greater earthquakes have hit Oklahoma's midsection since January 2009.
