A 5.6 magnitude earthquake hit Pawnee, Oklahoma early Saturday morning, affecting six of the surrounding states including Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Nebraska and Iowa. But surprisingly, the town of Stroud, Oklahoma where this weekend’s Backwoods Music Festival was taking place only 50 miles away from the epicenter, managed to avoid its waves.
