Earthquake Swarm in Arkansas Intensifies. Memphis, Tennessee could be epicenter for the next big one

The two in March could possibly be around 5th AND the 18th? Give or take a day or two....

Is guess that is possible but I doubt it will have anything to do with planetary alignments that are so far away from us. We do get affected by the moon for certain but not planets so far out and the wrong side of the Sun, nor by tiny 4 km comets either before it gets mentioned, or gas giants theoretically in the Oort belt!

Arkansas overnight update: 28th: Mag 4.7 05:00 UTC, Mag 3.8 05:18 UTC, Mag 3.6 08:46 UTC

do you have a similar map to that of CHCH from Sept or Feb? would like to compare

Are we still concidering this fracking events?
Seems they would be getting larger,

The 4.7 was the biggest so far, I believe. It's significant.

BTW people, another 3.2 just now:

I see Arkansas just

got another 3.2

I live in Avoca, AR approx 200 miles north of the epicenter of the earthquake last night. We definately flet it up here. This is the first one we've felt and hopefully the last.

What's the cumulative engery? please

And a nice graph would help.

This has to be a much bigger spike than October.

I won't speculate here, but since there was a storm, there was low pressure over the area at the time. And if the soil is saturated....

Don't forget to help bring attention to this crisis. The injection needs to stop now?

Berkleygal, you've been very diligent in posting the USGS updates as soon as they come in and I thank you for that. I just noticed that the one you recently posted indicated that it had been reviewed by a geologist. Are all of them being reviewed or are you only posting the updates after review?

I was under the impression that they were usually posted automatically then reviewed later. If they are being reviewed prior tk initial posting, then one could conclude that the USGS is watching these very closely still.

They are only posting them after review. And it's taking days and day to list the smaller ones.

"They are only posting them after review. And it's taking days and day to list the smaller ones"

Exactly! And that makes it VERY difficult to report that you felt them. One of the articles that was posted here stated that several quakes in 2.0 to 2.8 range had occurred that nobody felt.....WRONG! Can't report that you felt it if USGS doesn't add it to the log.

reply to post by KathyG427


I agree Kathy there have been many that I have wanted to post, but there was nothing to post on on the website.

reply to post by SusanFrey


I just emailed the USGS about them not posting the smaller quakes.

I, for one, appreciate all the info you in Arkansas can share... so please do. You, to me, are the reality of the situation. You've got more people thinking of you out here than you'll ever know.

And I'm also curious about anyones animals acting differently, etc. I'm an animal lover and know that we need to listen more closely to them. They have much to teach us.

Yep, looks like they're not posting them till they've been reviewed by a seismologist. This one popped up just a couple of minutes ago but occurred over 90 mins ago:

How close was this 4.7 to where the mass bird and fish deaths occurred in Arkansas?

Yet another -- another 2.5 -- and this time they were quicker to load it onto the maps:

"How close was this 4.7 to where the mass bird and fish deaths occurred in Arkansas? "

Beebe (bird death) is about 30 miles and Franklin Cty, (fish kill) about 85 miles away

reply to post by KathyG427


If you could go in a straight line to get there it would only be 20 to 40 miles max.
