Reports this morning say that the recent earthquakes in Faulkner County, Arkansas, may have been caused by two nearby drilling-fluid disposal wells. These wells go deeper and are under more pressure than producing wells. The quake area has had 870 or more tremors since September. The Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission will hold hearings today.

That's a far cry from the New Madrid fault explanation.
