Relentless Seismic Tremors in Arkansas · March 08, 2011
“Things are still shaking in Arkansas. More than 500 measurable earthquakes have been reported in central Arkansas since September 20, ranging in magnitude from a barely noticeable 1.8 to a very noticeable 4.0 (recorded on October 11), according to the U.S. Geological Survey.”
“I think everyone recognizes that there is an increased number of seismic events occurring in and around this area. If you look at the maps, at least circumstantially, there appears to be evidence that they may be related to disposal operations,” said Shane Khoury, deputy director and general counsel for the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission. “But we also know that this is an area that is historically active.”
“Meanwhile, Sam Higdon, the mayor of Guy, [Arkansas] says the quakes’ novelty is worn out.
‘I think everyone just kind of figures maybe it’ll just go away,’ he said. ‘And that’s what we’re all hoping.’”
Arkansas is one of the States in the U.S. that shares what is known as the New Madrid Fault. Other states on the fault line are Missouri, southern Illinois, western Kentucky, and western Tennessee. If all the earthquakes on the New Madrid Fault were in just one state, it would rank number 11 among states with the most seismic activity.
Jesus predicted that at the end of time there would be “earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.” Mark 13:18.
