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,
