EDMOND — Earthquakes weren't mentioned in Mayor Charles Lamb's State of the City speech on Thursday, but they were on the minds of some who attended the annual luncheon.

Dr. James Kennedye asked the mayor after his speech if there are any saltwater disposal wells in the city limits of Edmond, and he asked what the city council is doing to assess damage that has occurred in the city.

Lamb said he is not aware of any saltwater disposal wells within the city limits.

Last month, Edmond residents were rocked by earthquakes of 4.3 and 4.2 magnitude. Smaller earthquakes are frequently felt throughout the city.
