Third Earthquake of the Day shakes Arkansas
Reported by: KARK 4 News
Friday, October 15 2010
A 3.0 earthquake struck near Greenbrier (Faulkner County) this afternoon just hours after two tremors rumbled around Guy this morning.
The first of those quakes was initially measured at 4.4 but by this afternoon it had been downgraded to 3.8. The second came in at 2.4 on the Richter Scale.
This makes 55 earthquakes in the area in the last week. Most of them have been centered closest to Guy.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website, the day's first quake struck at 5:20 and was centered specifically three miles south-southeast of Guy.
Initial reports indicated the epicenter was in Bald Knob but Tommy Jackson with the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management confirmed to KARK 4 that the quake was in fact in the Guy area.
Callers to the KARK 4 Newsroom say it could also be felt in Greenbrier.
These are the latest tremors in what's being called an earthquake swarm to hit Faulkner County. Just yesterday, a 3.4 quake hit the Guy area, followed soon after by another that registered 1.9.
According to the USGS website, earthquakes measuring 4.0 to 4.9 produce "noticeable shaking of indoor items [and] rattling noises" while "significant damage [is] unlikely."
