3.8-magnitude quake rattles Guy [Arkansas]

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

There have been a bunch of little quakes in this part of Arkansas, a lot right outside of Guy, mostly in farm fields. (Looked at the Google maps.) I expect that it makes the cattle a bit nervous.

Underlying the Ozark plateau is an ancient volcanic uplift. That vulcanism is the reason that there are hot springs in Hot Springs, and that the only diamond deposits of any note within the continental US are in Arkansas.

Perhaps a Magma intrusion is forming underneath Guy, and we will have a new non Cascadian volcano!
