No, Kay, I wish that I could help.  I'll keep you in mind, if I run across 
anything.  awhile back I did see something mentioned on TV about those and 
the Arkansas activity, but I do not remember if it was the Science Channel, 
National Geographic or what.  They only mentioned the increased activity and 
did not elaborate.

WOW!  I did not realize that the Oklahoma and the Arkansas events were so 
frequent.  I do not keep up with the smaller EQ's and miss a lot, 
apparently.

Regards,
Jerry

  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.

  Kay Wyatt

    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
