Those look really strange to me...but not sure what all of it means? I personally think it looks pretty active but I don't really know much when it comes to reading those!

Something just rattled us, don't see anything on the networks though

Alright everyone. I'm about to go crazy here. All morning, I've been hearing...it's hard to explain. I can FEEL it lightly, it's like these...booms? It honestly feels like you have a porch, and someone is jumping up and down on it. That's what it sounds like too, except those are just the main points of the noise. It all strings together, like a long rumble, with some booms. It's not loud, but you can hear it. It sounds kind of far off, and yet it doesn't. I am probably a mile away from any neighbors, but this sound is so constant that it couldn't just be made by something my neighbors are doing.

I have no idea what it is...

Well, I don't think it's earthquakes. I'm checking and so far nothing really. It could be gravel mining? I don't know. Maybe echos for some sort of industry off at a distance. Sometimes the atmosphere makes vibrations travel great distances. Don't worry too much. There's nothing really brewing on the graphs.

Don't fret or worry, there wasn't anything going on earlier when I made my post but wanted it documented somewhere. I haven't felt anything else. My doors and windows don't rattle on their own. Maybe it's related to the amount of wind and it's very strong and gusty at times. I've never had wind rattle anything though or doors inside the house rattle unless it was a quake. I don't have a clue.

Have you checked the webicorders in the last few minutes? See anyhting odd on WHAR and X40A? Maybe that odd "blob" isn`t real since nothing from USGS?

Great now it's getting closer to the nuclear power plant. Doesn't that make you feel good to know that your government thinks that is safe.

Yikes. Hadn't even thought of that. Hopefully it's just a one and done.

As soon as I posted saying there was nothing, I saw that signature. And it looked like it wasn't on the fault.
The epicenter is right beside a water reservoir.

I wonder what the long skinny buildings are in the area of the epicenter - Tyson chicken houses? Anybody know this area?


edit: by the way, closest injection well about 7 miles to the west.

reply to post by Robin Marks


There looks like there are injection wells west of that direction too. It was up Hwy 287. East Fork Reservoir

reply to post by KathyG427


We went up that way to look at the lake one time, have thought about fishing there.

Getting near the nuclear plant in Russelville is
not going to ease anyones mind. I have been
by the plant a long time ago - can't remember
how many reactors its has. Stay alert and
safe friends.

Why do they always post "(poorly constrained) " when it comes to these earthquakes in Arkansas?
I haven't seen this used on other quakes in other areas..... but quite often on Arkansas earthquakes.

That is a real good question and I don't know the answer.
