1. These are all around the one town of Guy?

Where the hell is Guy and what is around in that area?

2. The shocking thing about that report is that it seems like Sen. Blanche Lincoln did something for

the common person instead of the corporations.

Although I guess the inquiry letter could have been sent to make sure no business interests were about to become rubble.

3. Guy's doing the Seismic Shimmy, it seems.

4. New Madrid earthquake around the boot of Musspuri

Was one one of the biggest ever to hit the lower 48 states. Also hit northeast Arkansas of course.

5. Musspuri -- Most excellent keyboard shift typo.

I'm making a note of that for future use. Musspuri, indeed. Isn't that a town in Rahjpur?

11. Damn iphones can be tough to type on!

You should see how many times I have told my girlfriend that I "Live" her in my texts!

LOL

12. This is central AR not east so wouldn't think that would be it

13. Seems to be more at the edge of the New Madrid zone

The star is the latest small quake -- pretty much due north of Little Rock. The fault is that red-tan-brown area over at the Mississippi where the seismic hazard probability peaks.

6. I've lived here 9 yrs and I had to look it up on Mapquest....................

.........It's just north of Conway maybe 10 miles. There ain't a hell of a lot of big towns in Ar, it all in all is a pretty sparsely populated state. You've got Little Rock (pop 191K) and over in the northwestern part of the state a relatively populous area with the towns of Fayetteville, Rogers and Springdale that are fairly close together. I live in the northcentral part of the state probably 100 miles north of Guy and didn't feel a thing.

7. Maybe God is angry with these racist hypocrites.

[MineralMan]

8. Well, there are also quakes over in Oklahoma.

Could be the second coming or something. Maybe they'll all be taken up.

9. God must really hate people in northern Mexico

[LiberalArkie]

10. Gas wells are being drilled.

14. Or maybe someone is blasting a quarry?

Interesting that Guy is not too far from Damascus, which was the site of a nuclear silo accident in 1980.
