LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - More than two dozen earthquakes have rumbled through Arkansas in the past week. Many of the temblors have been too small for people to notice, let alone cause injuries or property damage. But a couple of residents reported feeling a 3.4 magnitude quake north of Morrilton early yesterday morning. The latest quakes come about two years after hundreds of earthquakes shook Arkansas.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Health officials have issued an ozone advisory for residents in three counties in Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. The Shelby County Health Department is warning that ozone levels are going to be higher than normal today in the Memphis metropolitan area due to stagnant conditions, increased temperatures and decreased winds.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The American Red Cross will be accepting donations from fans attending the Memphis Grizzlies' next two home games in the Western Conference finals against San Antonio, and guard Tony Allen will matching those gifts. Allen played college basketball at Oklahoma State.
FORT SMITH, Ark. (AP) - Three lawsuits filed in Sebastian County this week target the Whirlpool Corporation, which operated a plant at Fort Smith until a year ago. Homeowners and landlords are worried about a chemical used at the plant between the 1960s and the 1980s. The state and Whirlpool reached an agreement on remediation efforts in 2001, but Whirlpool this year asked for a ban on new wells near the site. The plaintiffs are seeking funds to restore their property and also punitive damages.
