Jerry,

You bring up a topic that I am very curious about.  Before we retired to =
Oregon, we lived in Oklahoma for many years.  I've still got many family =
members who live in East Oklahoma City and they are regularly feeling =
earthquakes.  If you click on the link at
http://keokuk.ogs.ou.edu/scripts/maps/recenteqs
You will see a map of Oklahoma and see the "hot" spot of earthquakes =
east of OKCity.  I am regularly on the Oklahoma Geological Survey =
website and have not read much information regarding these quakes.  If =
you look at the frequency of earthquakes at
http://www.okgeosurvey1.gov/pages/earthquakes/information.php#FAQ
You will see a spike in 2010.  they still report this as "appears =
consistent with normal background seismicity".

If anybody has any information on these earthquakes I would be most =
interested.  Or if you can provide a link to any reports on the web =
about this increase in seismicity that would be great.

  Hi Thomas,

  I "googled" Guy, Arkansas and read a lot of information about the many =
EQ's there.  There has been similar activity near Jones, OK, just =
outside of OKC, but not as frequent.

  There has been some speculation as to whether gas well fracting may =
promote seismic activity.  Of course, the gas well people deny that.   I =
don't know if such drilling activity is gong on in that part of Arkansas =
or not.

  Regards,







Jerry,
