Things are still shaking in Arkansas.
More than 500 measurable earthquakes have been reported in central Arkansas since September 20, ranging in magnitude from a barely noticeable 1.8 to a very noticeable 4.0 (recorded on October 11), according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Geologists can't say whether they'll stop anytime soon.

It’s better to have small ones. Releases pressure.

Same thing going on under Oklahoma. Almost all the recent quakes are at the same indicated depth....3.1 miles.....weird.

Beats having the fault cut loose all at once. They should be thankful.
Wonder if it's part of the big New Madrid fault . . . the last time that one went the Mississippi ran backwards for 2 days.

I've been reading that in some cases the smaller quakes do not necessarily preclude larger quakes but may concentrate stress in a fault which is connected but not moving.

If it's graboids, it won't be long until they have shriekers and ass blasters, too.

Too much oil and gas drilling and recovery?

Amazing the Chinese are that close to tunneling through from the other side.
To: A Strict Constructionist
I forgot it may be drug lords tunneling toward Mena.
To: ProtectOurFreedom
It would be interesting to know if the Oklahoma quakes have any effect on oil and gas well flows.

I was wondering if the fault wasn’t connected to Arkansas as well.
I lived within 100 miles of the New Madrid fault as a kid...had tremors all the time. Even one quake around ‘68 that brought down half of the court house.
