GREENBRIER — Four earthquakes have been recorded near Greenbrier in central Arkansas— including one with a preliminary magnitude of 4.7 that was reportedly felt on four other states and is the largest temblor to hit the state in 35 years.
The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the 4.7 quake at 11 p.m. Sunday about four miles northeast of Greenbrier — about 35 miles north of Little Rock. Residents across Arkansas and in Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee and Mississippi reported on the U.S.G.S. website that they felt the quake.
Greenbrier police dispatcher Jessica Bradford says no injuries or serious damage is reported.
Taylor Farrell of Greenbrier said Monday she has noticed gradual structural damage to her home, including a crack extending the length of her driveway, and some pictures have fallen off walls in recent quakes. She said she has now removed everything from her walls to prevent breaking any more family photos.
The U.S.G.S. also recorded in the same area a preliminary magnitude 3.8 quake at 11:18 p.m. and a preliminary 3.6 magnitude quake was recorded at 2:46 a.m. Monday. The fourth earthquake is a preliminary magnitude 3.2 and was recorded at 7:06 a.m.
