Hi, All,
Just wondering if you all have noticed the activity on the New Madrid fault,
especially in Arkansas around Guy and Searcy.
They have had one as large as a 4.4 the last couple of days. Hundreds of
smaller, some in the 3.0 and up range. Just had another 3.5 around 5 this
morning.
My sister in North Louisiana called me last night quite upset. The local
news channel out of Shreveport has deemed it necessary to add a quake alert
to the weather news.
Now, I was raised up there and we NEVER had a Quake alert feature on the
news. In fact, they never even mentioned quakes unless it was a huge one
somewhere in the world.
I suggest all that live along the New Madrid be vigilant.
The New Madrid runs down the Miss River and the river is just a few miles
from my home.
Billie

BRIGHT SOLAR FLARE: Active sunspot 1121 has just unleashed one of the brightest x-ray solar flares in several years, an M5.4-class eruption at 15:36 UT on Nov. 6th. Radiation from the flare created a wave of ionization in Earth's upper atmosphere that altered the propagation of low-frequency radio waves. There was, however, no bright CME (plasma cloud) hurled in our direction, so the event is unlikely to produce auroras in the nights ahead. Visit
