Dear Ones:
Yes, there have been an inordinate number of recognizable and 'noticeable' earthquakes in Arkansas over the last 24 hours or so.
Yesterday I wrote about a Geomagnetic Storm expected to be here Feb 17-19. As I have described many times before, seismic activity is correlated to 'space weather'.
Simply put, the 'energy' in its various forms which is hitting the earth from the sun manifests here in the form of severe weather (severe storms) with the potential for tornadoes, lightning, thunder, flooding, tsunamis, volcanic activity, seismic activity and more.
This collection of events is collectively known as 'Geomagnetic Storms', more or less, depending upon who is doing the 'defining'--a meterologist or an astrophysicist, that is.
Still, it's actually all the same as far as we are concerned.
Recently, the sun erupted with a rare 'X-Class' solar flare, with two attendant CME's (Coronal Mass Ejections).
In terms of electrical phenomena, we see 'auroras' ('Northern Lights') at lower latitudes and can experience electrical, power grid and voltage fluctuations.
Satellite functioning and transmission can be interrupted or terminated temporarily.
Radio transmissions can be disrupted and the earth can be subjected to 'waves' of all sorts of ionizing radiation.
Communication can be severely disrupted.
In a 'nutshell', energy from a set of recent solar events, including the 'x-class flare' and CME's disturb the earth's magnetic field, resulting in affecting seismic activity to one degree or another.
THIS is why Arkansas is acting up.

Below is a map and 'list' of the 52 or so earthquakes Arkansas has experienced today and yesterday.
You will note that while the magnitudes are relatively small, they are also relatively 'shallow'.
As a rule, 'the shallower the quake, the more it is felt at the surface', even with a lower-magnitude earthquake.
