I haven't felt an earthquake in decades but just experienced a small one here in SC. My grandparents in Elgin, over 70 miles away, also felt and heard it.
I haven't seen any news about it yet, but it couldn't have been much more than a 3.0.
Two winter storms and an earthquake in less than 10 days. Hmmmm.
I felt it just west of Augusta GA. Heard it coming. Knew it was an earthquake. Haven’t felt one since I was a kid in California. Still don’t see it on the quake map.
4.4 according to usgs.
Just felt it here out in the NE burbs of Columbia. Never experienced one before and didn’t know what to make of it.
Global warming or Bush’s fault?
BREAKING — Preliminary: Moderate quake hits the state of Georgia — Earthquake measured between 4.5 and 5.4
Now THAT is a good shake..we are used to them here in SoCal
Felt it here in Charlotte/Ft. Mill area.
Felt like a kick and then about 10 seconds of brief light shaking.
Just felt it here east of Athens GA. It was a good shake.
4.4 not bad!, not bad at all!
The first earthquake this Californian slept through was in SC...
Yeah. It felt like at least a 4. Not strong enough to knock anything off the shelves. Only lasted a couple seconds.
How did Bush do that?
I think we will now hear from some historians about the New Madrid fault.
Out here inS. California that’s a laugher but get a we bit of rain and we are on storm watch
I felt a slight vibration of my floor at that time. I’m 40 miles west of Chattanooga and immediately thought earthquake, but then dismissed it.
I heard they felt it all over TN, oh wait... that was the VW UAW vote(sorry I just could not resist!)
I felt a relatively small one in Missouri. It was over before I realised what is was. There was a helicopter flying overhead, and at first I thought that had something to do with it. Had never really felt one before.
All the ceiling tiles in the basement rattled and moved, but nothing really fell, and there was no damage anywhere on our property.
I think you nailed it.
How much does 3 inches of ice weigh when it covers about 2000 square miles.
The answer is a lot.
This comes in an area that rarely has snow/ice cover persisting for any appreciable length of time.
