A Couple of Earthquakes

This week the New Madrid seismic zone was a little busier . We had two small earthquakes one at the lower end of the zone then another at the end of the week near New Madrid.  Both were small but could have been felt by people near the epicenter.  The first one occurred on Tuesday at 5:55 pm near Cherry Valley Arkansas. The magnitude was 2.6 and the depth was 2 miles.  For further information visit the data page at Arkansas Earthquake.  The second earthquake occurred on Friday at 6:12 am and was located 7 miles south-southwest of New Madrid, Missouri. The magnitude was 2.5 and the depth was 5.9 miles. For further information visit the data page Missouri Earthquake.
