A six-month moratorium was established in January on new injection wells in the area to allow time to study the relationship — if any — between the wells and the earthquakes.

So they stopped drilling in January, and at the end of February, there's a quake.

So it's not the drilling, it's the existence of the holes!

Haven't there been earthquakes for, like, I dunno.... HUNDREDS of years?

It’s that ancient volcano stirring under the Natural State.

They have not stopped drilling on any of the old wells. It is my opinion that they may not be the sole cause but I’m sure that they do play a part in all of this.
I live near the area where the quake happened and it is not a good feeling when these thing happen all of a sudden and shake your whole house. By all of a sudden I mean just that. Yes they have been going on for years all over the world and not just in Arkansas.
It is a scary feeling especially if you are not used to them. I am originally from PA. No earthquakes or tornados there. I’ll take snow over either of them but love it here and will just have to put up with them I guess.
