GREENBRIER, Ark. (AP) - Two small earthquakes have been reported in central Arkansas.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a 3.3-magnitude quake was recorded about 3:24 a.m. Sunday one mile northeast of Greenbrier in Faulkner County. The geological survey reported a 2.5-magnitude tremor about 5:56 a.m. in the same area.

A Faulkner County Sheriff's dispatcher said the department had received no reports of injuries or damage.

A slew of small tremors hit the county last year in what seismologists called the Guy-Greenbrier swarm. The largest earthquake, a 4.3-magnitude temblor, hit Greenbrier in February 2011.

This has to be a hoax, remember when they stopped "fracking" this would stop.

They have been happening there for years. I was raised, went to school, and played all over that country. The wells just brought in the right equipment for them to be noticed. You hardly ever have one that can be felt.
