Gas companies blamed for more than 30 earthquakes in two cities in four days, Daily Mail (UK), February 17, 2011:
The north-central Arkansas cities of Greenbrier and Guy have been affected by more than 30 earthquakes since Sunday ranging in magnitude from 1.8 to 3.8. ...
Geohazards supervisor for the Arkansas Geological Survey Scott Ausbrooks, said: 'The quakes are part of what is now called the Guy earthquake swarm — a series of mild earthquakes that have been occurring periodically since 2009. It could just be a naturally occurring swarm like the Enola swarm, or it could be related to ongoing natural gas exploration in the area.' ...
Guy Police Chief Dave Martini said they continue to blame the gas companies for the quakes...
A total of 700 earthquakes have occurred in the region in the last six months. ...
Mr Ausbrooks said geologists don't believe the production wells are the problem, but rather the injection wells that are used to dispose of 'frack' water when it can no longer be re-used. The wastewater is pressurized and injected into the ground.

I think, because I’m no earthquake expert, however, I bet the Arkansas and Gulf Quakes are related? The Gulf quake, I believe, originated at the DWH site (due to the obvious and it was not tectonic), however, the Arkansas Quakes are Tectonic Due to the Immanent Collapse of the GOM seafloor.
I bet Arkansas is the Stress Point for that (N-M) Plate? Since the Seafloor is collapsing, the Stress point of the Plate would give and Move thus creating Quakes in Arkansas?
In any case, perhaps, I should be a Quake Expert, because the Entire GOM should be on Tsunami Warning regardless.
hypothesis and science abound

Interesting. I don’t think anyone has a Clue! Since September ( such a Dramatic number) well that’s obvious, the DWH site is the Problem. Will we ever get an answer, NO. However, remember, when the Tsunamis Strike, Pitchfork the Government and BP.
no clue. and bp.gov like it that way. crazy true military mafia post on the 3.5 quake story. pitchfork now, before it's too late!
