Earthquakes in Guy
Starting in September 2010, the area around Guy experienced many earthquakes. This series of quakes is called the Guy-Greenbrier earthquake swarm. There were more than 500 earthquakes in total.
The quakes ranged from very small (1.8 magnitude, barely felt) to quite strong (4.7 magnitude, very noticeable). Scientists from the US Geological Survey and the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission investigated these events.
These earthquakes might be linked to the process of injecting salty water and other waste fluids deep underground. This is done to get rid of the fluids without polluting surface water or groundwater.
