MANILA, ARKANSAS -- A mild earthquake centered in northeastern Arkansas was felt across a wide area of the Mississippi Valley on Sunday, but no major damage was reported.
The quake was measured at magnitude 4.1, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
"One man had some shelving knocked off the wall and another said it knocked the TV off the wall," said Michael Hill, a dispatcher at the Mississippi County sheriff's office.
It was felt in parts of Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and northern Mississippi in addition to Arkansas, authorities said.

Also, it's hardly surprising that Arkansas has a "Manila."

No problem, it was fun ...
But when you think about it, "2rd" is sorta like what we insulted each other with in grade school! :-)

Since there are few other faults near the New Madrid Quake the damage area was greater.
The Mercalli intensity was lower on the East side of the San Andreas Fault than on the West. The New Madrid intensity seems to decrease merely as a function of distance from the epicenter.

Lived on the San Andreas fault for 26 years, and now on the New Madrid right in the epicenter of Sunday's wake. I was sitting right here at my computer and did not feel a thing.
