Seems the area north of Little Rock, AR, has become the Mid-South hotspot for earthquakes of late! According to the US Geologic Survey, there have been nearly four dozen small quakes all near the same location in north-central AR, north of Conway near the town of Guy. The largest, a magnitude 4.0 which was felt across a large part of northern Arkansas, trembled this morning shortly after 8:30am CDT, and was followed a few hours later by a magnitude 3.6. More information on these quakes, including coverage by a couple of excellent weathermen from The Natural State, click on the links below:
