can download the Last Quake app and report to it that you felt a quake. I don't think I've seen any of the Louisiana ones end up on that list, and they have the whole spectrum of quakes.
Did that. They have 7 officially reported. There are probably 5 that didn't get reported. We had one this morning then a four more this afternoon

Better get that Earthquake insurance policy before the big one hits.
The 3.5 stretched from Logansport to Winnfield (west to east) and north of Miden to Many (north to south). Earthquake.usgs.gov

Did that yesterday after they hit. 13 more a month. Who would have thought we need it in Louisiana.

5 km deep is equal to 16,400 ft total vertical depth. There is no hydraulic fracturing taking place that deep in that part of Louisiana because they will not drill into the Smackover formation that far south in fear of H2S in high concentrations and overpressure that will cause blowouts and fires (H2S is highly flammable).
They drill into the Smackover further north because the H2S content is lower due to the lower temperatures in the formation.
The target formations in that part of Louisiana are either the Cotton Valley Sandstone or Haynesville Shale. The formation that sits at the lower part of the Cotton Valley group is called the Bossier Shale in that part of Louisiana. It has a ton of gas in it as well. The Haynesville is below the Bossier. The Haynesville will transition to what is called a Marl at the bottom section of the formation. They angle up of they see that, as it's the transition point to the Smackover.
With all of that said, the earthquake occurred a lot deeper than the Smackover formation.

Heard a report yesterday that 75% of the US is under some earthquake threat

So what is causing this if not fracking? Is there a fault line nearby getting busy?

HODSON TO FULLER!!

I don't know man. I made a post about this a couple of weeks ago. It was cool in a sense if you never been in a earthquake. I am saying this since I thought this was a rarity and not that strong. But after ten of them close together and getting stronger, its more of a wtf situation.
After the 3.5 today, we noticed new cracks in our front and back porches. The concrete has been there awhile and had a couple of crakes. Well those got wider and we got new ones.

I see it on there now. It either hadn't been added or I missed it when I looked earlier.

Not sure if the swampy soils of Louisiana makes any difference but I was in California when they had a few after shocks at 4.0 or less and I never felt a thing. Wouldn’t have know if my buddy’s phone didn’t go off telling him that were happening.

I don't know a whole lot about earthquakes, especially in this part of the world. So I've been looking around a bit.
Here a two helpful links:
USGS - Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States Interactive Fault Map
A paper on the Gulf Margin Class B Fault

Might be because they are deeper. Just a guess. We are almost at the epicenter and they are only 3 miles deep. The bigger one today hit when I was in my car. It shook it side to side. It gets your attention.
