I didn’t think of that it was just the title the way they posted it I guess I should have added it. The reason I think it’s of interest is the New Madrid Fault zone you would almost think it’s waking up and a major quake there would be really devastating. The National Guard had preparedness training within the past month for just that scenario.

You have to figure anything named “Faulkner County” would be in the southern part of the US.

There was a thread about the ongoing tremors earlier today. It’s good to get an update.

Hope this doesn’t amount to anything.

Several comments on the linked story talk about gas drilling in the area.

The quakes were very shallow, so they could be related to drilling. It’s not unprecedented to have quakes related to drilling.

There are OTHER faults in Arkansas. There are two distinct "mountain ranges" as well.

Not everything there involves the New Madrid fault.

That fault line has minor quakes every now and then. It really isn't "waking up."

Quite often there would be a seismic event from New Madrid and all the ICBMs would go into Memory or PIGA Leveling mode. The crews on duty knew exactly what had happened because the missiles would report all at once.
