Sulfur smell once again in Northeast Arkansas, no rain
A few weeks ago after a hard rain this area had an overwhelming sulfure smell, today (no bad weather) the overpowering smell is throughout the whole town.

Heads up, this happened before massive New Madrid earthquake. And strange activity there?

Oh no! Day before yesterday I went home for lunch and I told Mr. Wonderful "Something smells funny" and I always get concerned because I have an acute sense of smell for (natural) gas. But this didn't smell like gas, just strong and strange.

I go back to work (8 min drive away) and get out of the car and the smell is there too. And now that I read the title of this post, it did smell like sulfur!

I'm in southern Maine. :-O

All those chicken farmers have incinerators now.
They burn dead chickens and all kinds of things
rather than letting their runoff go down creeks
and rivers to Oklahoma.
Oklahoma's been suing all the chicken companies
over runoff into streams.

Re: Sulfur smell once again in Northeast Arkansas, no rain
When all the animals that live in holes start coming out of their safe areas in order to be outside ... THEN ... I would start to worry.

Fwiw I would think the sulfer smell would be around for a few days or weeks before anything would happen.

Because the New Madrid is a DEEP (not surface) fault complex it is much harder to model or understand than a fault complex that comes close to or even reaches the surface.

Last time around, though this local was not in the direct line of fire, the shaking was alledgly so bad that most chimneys toppled over. St. Louis and Memphis ARE however in the direct line of fire and they could have a LOT of their older unreinforced masonary buildings collapse (and both of those towns have LOTS of those type of 1800's buildings) if a repeat of ANY of the quakes of 1811 & 1812
were to reoccure

OP, here is a link to some Arkansas seismographs, maybe you can find the one nearest you and check to see if anything seismic is contributing to it.
