There has been a series of earthquakes in Arkansas this past week. The largest with a magnitude of 4.4 just hit Faulkner County Friday morning at 5:20. These two add to the list of over 50 earthquakes in this county. Sen. Blanche Lincoln recently sent a letter to requesting a report from the USGS assessing recent earthquakes in the area. According to the county judge, residents have not reported any damage. They have reported feeling the tremors.
At this point, these earthquakes have not had much human impact, but I would be concerned and want to find out more information. Because this is not common for this area, more research will have to be done. Once more information is gathered, people will have their questions answered.
