Comments
I'm a retired scientist living at Cotter AR, and I've built a seismometer that detects even distant quakes. This small quake registered on my instrument, and was also picked up by seismometers at Mountain Grove MO, and the Arkansas seismometers at Hobbs, Mtn. View and Batesville. The USGS map shows the epicenter northeast of Harrison, not northwest. It was right on the White River channel, under the lake
