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

reply to post by SusanFrey


We`re watching the same one. I have no idea what that is. I hope someone does, cause it doesn`t look good.

the ground is quivering right now - almost constant

Could you tell us what your looking at? What doesn't look good?
Thanks.

I think they are looking at GEE. I do not have the program, so I'm not sure what about it is troubling.

As for the 3.7 that was posted earlier, they have downgraded it to a 3.5:

There were 4 "bump-spikes" within 90 seconds or so, and they were pretty pronounced. I`ve not seen anything like that since I`ve been watching GEE. And it gave me a really bad feeling... like foreboding. Then not long after that, to have a local report that the ground felt like a constant rumble.... kinda worried about what the rest of the day is gonna look like. Hopefully its just a "quirk" in the graph, and all will be well. If I knew how to paste an image, I`d put it here.

just had a good jolt

another bigger one on GEE

and another one....

You must be sitting pretty much right on top of it! You wrote that before it even showed up on GEE...and it's probably around a 2.2 to 2.3

Your nerves must be SO raw by now....I'm sorry


Edit to add....ugh, as I looked away to write this. That's probably a 2.7 or so

reply to post by westcoast

Agreed, and I have the same sentiments for all of you who are sitting on top of this. First one looks to be low two range, second mid to higher twos, but lasting longer and with a second bump after around a minute & 30 seconds or so.

I am very close -- the quake epicenters have been 1.5 miles to 5.5 miles from me. It's VERY nerve-wracking.

Those are double and triple taps happening. The first of a double or first two of the triple are much smaller than the final jolt

bang BANG
bang bang BANG

That's disturbing. I am reminded of calving hunks of ice off a glacier, you hear several rumbling cracks befornthe explosive crash wherein the hunk of ice falls into the water.

Yeah me too, missed the Gemini parade last weekend is Shreveport, was going to go, but with all going on up here didn't.

I didn't need to hear that right now. LOL!!!! Trying to keep a level head and a sense of humor.

reply to post by KathyG427

sadly, none of that is showing up on the USGS maps.

reply to post by SusanFrey

Hi Susan....you sound a little on edge today....do you just have a feeling thats making you pack up? Or is it something you are seeing?

Yeah a little, saw a funny looking patch of low hanging cloud (hazy, foggy looking on a pretty clear day) while I was putting dog crates in the van, it moved slowly over the house, don't see anyone burning leaves and don't smell any. I don't like the looks of things on GEE and am pretty stressed which I don't need.
