3.5 M is small but being in the new madrid fault area is big
Global Warming!
The ground moves so much in Guy, AR that they need to install seat belts on the toilets.
Sarah Palin’s Harsh Rhetoric!
Arkanslide?
A 3.5 might shake a few trailers off the wheels.
Or shake a few glass ashtrays in the Presidential liberry.
The New Madrid acting up again?
3.5?? Pffft... that’ll simply save people from putting quarters in their motel shaking beds.
Tell yer kids to stop jumping up and down so hard!
(I slept thru a 3.2 earthquake out here in Colorado many years ago)
At least this time, if the Mighty Mississippi flows backwards, cuts new channels and creates new oxbow lakes, we’ll have video.
All of those bridges probably have DOT video cameras on them now, so we’ll have film of them coming down too.
I’ve always assumed most people would be hard pressed to feel anything under 4.5 unless they were darned close to the epicenter.
Its kinda weird that the area right around Guy, AR has had this low level shaking going on for months.
Its very localized to just around Guy.
We average around 30-40 small earthquakes a year I read somewhere. Last year we had over 500. Something’s going on and it seems to be focused around Guy, AR.
No. New Madrid fault :)
I have had a personal gas passing event that registered higher than 3.5
We are actually averaging a couple hundred small quakes a month here in central AR. 3.5 is a bit bigger than most, but the swarm has persisted for several months now.
Ohhhh man...The New Madrid goes, and it’ll sway skyscrapers in Chicago
