Hmm Southeast MO here...didn't feel anything or hear about this til just now.

Thanks for sharing

I could be wrong, but you might check your fault lines. I don't think it was on the NM. It is a little hair raising however.

(As a side note, I spent my first 19 years in Mattoon/Charleston and I slept through the one that came through in the '80's. That is the only quake I have been through and don't even remember it. )

Just in the past 5 days there are 6 smaller EQ's definetly attributed to the New Madrid fault.

Out of these 13 quakes 6 occured along the new madrid. Maybe more but i'm quite sure that the ones in AR and OK are caused by the new madrid, correct me if i'm wrong.

You could be right. Haven't had much time to do the research, been storm watching....

Yeah same here. Just all the water that may get dumped on New Madrid from the hurricane got me thinkin.. hmm

Its not tracking toward the new madrid after landfall...

Then there goes that theory. Was just thinking out loud.

I hadn't heard about that until just now. Thank you for the update.

"We have determined that there is a fault line in Eastern Arkansas that is not associated with the New Madrid Fault Line. The U.S. Geological Survey came in and studied the area that we had indicated as possible for a fault line and used seismic reflection equipment to research the area based on our research that we presented to them," said Al-Shukri.

"The technology they used is similar to equipment that is used to look for oil. They were able to look several hundred meters deep under the surface and confirm that there is an active fault line in that area," said Al-Shukri.

This is more than likely the cause for all of the recent quakes in AR.
