Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin says there are no immediate reports of damage at a major oil storage hub following a 5.0 magnitude earthquake in the area.

Fallin tweeted that officials in Cushing are checking for building damage and natural gas leaks following Sunday night's quake. It was the third earthquake with a magnitude 5.0 or greater this year in Oklahoma.

The governor says no damage was reported at the storage tanks at Cushing's oil storage terminal, which as of last month held 58.5 barrels of crude oil.

Fallin also tweeted that about 40 residents of the Cimarron Towers assisted living center are staying at a shelter because of damage to the building.
