( CNN ) -- A 4.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Arkansas just after 11 p.m. Sunday , the United States Geological Survey said . The quake , the latest in a swarm of nearly 800 since September , is the strongest since a 5.0 event recorded in 1976 , according to Scott Ausbrooks of the Arkansas Geological Survey . Almost all of Arkansas could feel the quake , as could residents in parts of Missouri , Tennessee , Kentucky , Indiana and Oklahoma , Ausbrooks said . The quake caused minor damage across a wide area of Arkansas . Most of the damage was from broken dishes , cracked drywall and , in one case , a broken window . No injuries were reported . The quake 's epicenter was 37 miles from Little Rock , the USGS said . The area lies atop several geologic faults , but none is associated with the New Madrid fault , which shook the region in 1811 -- destroying its namesake town in Missouri , bringing down buildings as far away as St. Louis and shaking the ground even in New York . The area around Guy was the site of another historic flurry of earthquakes in 1982 . Geologists know it as the Enola Swarm , responsible for 15,000 quakes within a year 's time , followed by more shaking in 2001 . Ausbrooks has said the state Geological Survey was trying to determine whether the current swarm is natural or due to some man-made cause . CNN 's Jeremy Ryan and Rick Martin contributed to this report .
