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

You guys have had a very bumpy day today! I hope it settles down tonight.

I haven't been on the thread for awhile, but you have been in my thoughts and prayers!

Did anyone in Arkansas just feel anything at 11:47/11:48? I happened to be reading a post on ATS just now when I felt light shaking (laying on my bed), but only for a few seconds. I didn't hear anything though.

Good luck to the Arkansas members today. If I was closer I would be there with you all!

Keep us posted on what happens.

Where in memphis did you see these cloud anomalies ?

For I have been noticing strange cloud formations for the last 4 days. I work outside, so I litterally look every 5 min. I am the one who saw the rainbow anomaly on 3/11/11 and have been quite paranoid ever since....Hollar back................Sorry, had to edit spelling error.

They were on both sides of the sun

I was driving on Jackson avenue going west and then back east, like toward Raleigh

Well, today seems like a completely different day. The swarm intensified yesterday, and today it's very quiet.

I hope the only movement of the earth in Arkansas today is from the marching feet of those that will be protesting. The only way to stop fracking is if we bring the issues to light. As Susan found out when she went exploring in her wider nieghbourhood, the problem is surrounding her and yet it was almost hidden.

The problems created by fracking and injection were hidden until the earth started reacting. The industry's policy of sweeping problems under the carpet became impossible when four states felt the 4.7M. They've been pumping their garbage into a subterranian dump. Problem is that the dump is not a dump. It's the aquifer, the groundwater.
If they cause a major contamination of the groundwater, they will destroy the state of Arkansas.

This will make the BP oil spill look like a minor problem. Because you can't fix the groundwater. And you can't stop a fault from moving once you've set it in motion.

Save Arkansas.
Stop fracking.

Hey butter cookie! thanks for responding. I will keep my eyes peeled today.

Just got back from the capital. Well there must have been 200 rig employees and some of their spouses up there.It's fairly quiet because they got paid today to go to the courthouse to protest instead of being on the rigs and in the field working. I left as I have some other things that I have to get done here at home but did speak and I did get a little reaction from some of them when I flat out asked them where they lived and if they were afraid for their grandchildren to visit in their home, some even snickered and laughed when I said that I was concerned and afraid to bring my grandchildren into the state, with what is going on here trying to prove my point. Some of the college kids from Hendrick's college were there and trying to get any of the workers to talk and they had been told to keep their mouths shut and not step to talk. Many got to get inside at the session, I didn't as it was standing room only inside and they had to let someone out before they would allow anyone else in, so I was with the small group outside representing those against it. I am very disappointed in the turn out on the outside compared to how many workers were there fighting to keep their jobs.

This is new. We just had a small quake, no jolt, very light shake, but the noise was more west and not north, now the wind is up today here too and a sunny 79 degrees up at the school, but it feels a little warmer than that actually, more in the mid 80's.

Susan, thank you for going to the capital today. I wish I could have been there too, but I am in E KY. But I got up this AM thinking about you going, so I was there in spirit. I'm sure it was not easy being outnumbered by the drill workers. You did good darlin', hang in there.

Very interesting theory. I am very new to the subject of earthquakes. But I have seen the role of "water" mentioned many times. I am trying to understand this, perhaps you can help me. What role does water play exactly, in the simplest of terms? Is it that water puts pressure on faults or that it causes land to expand? I was reading today that the Mississippi River is expected to cross into the major flooding stage by this weekend in some areas. Source. Would this potentially have an impact on the New Madrid Fault? The entire Midwest has taking a beating when it comes to storms it seems. I have seen people comment that it could ultimately effect earthquake activity. I have no idea if there is any truth to that. Is there?

Agreed! I was in Conway at a restaurant (about 10miles S of Greenbrier) - felt the slight movement there - looked at CERI and dropped everything and headed home.

I'd be willing to bet they are working on that station or have a glitch. Nothing is happening.
