That is three in this region in the last 12 months!  :spooked:

The Earth is shaking in central Arkansas.

Almost two dozen earthquakes of magnitude 2.3 or greater have struck the region since midnight Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.

The largest of the temblors, at 4.3 magnitude, hit at 2:13 a.m. Friday. It followed a 4.0-magnitude event at 11 p.m. Thursday.

I'm thinking that ring of fire may be spreading in the next few years. There's an awful lot of activity in areas that rarely see any as well, and that tells me the plates are shifting a lot more. Just a matter of time before that fault down Evansville way gets enough pressure on it to "burp" and really shake things up in the mid section of this country. And that is going to get VERY ugly when it happens. . .

That bridge connecting Louisville to Indiana could be a casualty, as well as those bridges in Evansville! I'm talking Mothman II!

December 16, 1811, 0815 UTC (2:15 a.m.); (M ~7.2 – 8.1) epicenter in northeast Arkansas. It caused only slight damage to man-made structures, mainly because of the sparse population in the epicentral area. The future location of Memphis, Tennessee experienced level IX shaking on the Mercalli intensity scale. A seismic seiche propagated upriver and Little Prairie was heavily damaged by soil liquefaction

December 16, 1811, 1415 UTC (8:15 a.m.); (M ~7.2–8.1) epicenter in northeast Arkansas. This shock followed the first earthquake by six hours and was similar in intensity.

January 23, 1812, 1500 UTC (9 a.m.); (M ~7.0–7.8) epicenter in the Missouri Bootheel. The meizoseismal area was characterized by general ground warping, ejections, fissuring, severe landslides, and caving of stream banks. Johnson and Schweig attributed this earthquake to a rupture on the New Madrid North Fault. This may have placed strain on the Reelfoot Fault.

February 7, 1812, 0945 UTC (4:45 a.m.); (M ~7.4–8.0) epicenter near New Madrid, Missouri. New Madrid was destroyed. At St. Louis, Missouri, many houses were severely damaged, and their chimneys were toppled. This shock was definitively attributed to the Reelfoot Fault by Johnston and Schweig. Uplift along a segment of this reverse fault created temporary waterfalls on the Mississippi at Kentucky Bend, created waves that propagated upstream, and caused the formation of Reelfoot Lake by obstructing streams in Lake County, Tennessee.

Been 199 years since this baby last really "burped". . . I wonder how long before it lets loose again?

  Eventho the odds of an earthquake hitting here.  As cheap as earthquake insurance is here.  I buy it.  I sure could not afford to rebuild my house.  :yes:

As seismic activity seems to be increasing in size, locations, and nature, the odds surrounding an event along the New Madrid fault, and other lesser known faults present in the midwest, are increasing exponentially.

Certainly the PACRIM is an active area of the earth anyway for such events, however, the size of today's event there is historical, and an indication of a MAJOR shit in the plates. THAT typically results in a chain reaction as pressures shift. . .

I have a friend that lives in Japan. She txted everyone earlier to say she felt it, but was fine. Then the tsunami hit and no one can reach her. I'm sure power lines and cell towers are down. I hope she' still okay.

I have another friend in Hawaii bracing for a tsunami
