KOCO-TV meteorologist Danielle Dozier had an extra challenge thrown her way during a weather report Monday morning in Oklahoma City.

At 5:47 a.m. local time Monday morning, a 4.3-magnitude earthquake jolted the Oklahoma City area, according to the United States Geological Survey. The epicenter was near Jones, Oklahoma, and it was the second of four earthquakes to shake the region Monday morning.

Dozier went to her Twitter page shortly after the earthquake to comment on the bizarre event. You'll notice in the video that she was spot-on with her assessment of the earthquake's magnitude.



Monday morning's 4.3 earthquake was the strongest in the last 30 days for Oklahoma, but there have been 67 quakes of at least 2.5-magnitude during that time frame, according to the Tulsa World.
