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

4.7 according to the USGS. I was hoping things were going to calm down!

What time was the big one you just felt?

4.7 just hit Arkansas..

Edit: Greenzie beat me to it. What alert program do you use?

Now usgs has it as a 4.7

Hi Guys I am newbie and I am not well versed in geology, plate tectonics and vulcanology But I have 2 questions.

Q is it possible that there is some kind of undiscovered super fault responsible for all the uptick in earthquakes that we have been seeing?

also a bit of the topic.

Mid Atlantic ridge runs from Arctic Circle all the way to Antarctica, Is this mid Atlantic ridge a fault line is a super I mean colossal mega quake possible all along this ridge?

Thanks

I was just thinking that the quiet today has actually been nice, even though it's gloomy with the weather and that the larger ones would start after midnight again around 2 or 3 am.

Guys....this one is wierd. Was there some major ground movement with this or something? The Iris seismo is like something I have never seen before:

IRIS

It's showing up in Yellowstone like more of a local quake:

Yellowstone link

This is a weird one...Puterman? You still on here?

Being followed up by several more decent sized quaked in the the 3.5 range.....still coming in (watching GEE)

Westcoast can you please give the live GEE link? Been with this thread from the beginning..thank you

Been watching the one from Marked Tree, but it doesn't seem to want to update for some reason

Confirmed there was a 4.7 and now aftershocks? I don't have a good feeling about this. Will check and see if there is a summary yet . We're having thunderstorms right now and I heard Arkansas is in for the same. Weather change - larger quake

They just broke into the show, THV, to anounce a 4.7 and she said it was felt in Little Rock.

Here you go: GEE

You have to download the program to run it.

North St. Louis County has bad storms getting ready to hit. Felt a shake around 11 but thought it was thunder. Tornadoes popping off the squall line.
