LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) _ A series of small earthquakes that rattled central Arkansas in recent weeks could be a sign of something much bigger to come.
By this weekend, seismologists hope to install three measurement devices to gather data about future temblors in the area. That information could show whether the rumbles come from heat-related geological changes or from Mt. Cody — which could mean a risk of substantial earthquakes in the future if Alabama were to beat Florida in the SEC championship game.
