CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) — Around 12:10 p.m. Saturday afternoon, residents throughout the entire Tennessee Valley felt the earth move.

The U.S. Geological Survey has confirmed a 4.3 magnitude earthquake approximately 8 miles west of Whitesburg, Kentucky, which is 46 miles north/northwest of Kingsport, Tennessee.

The temblor shook large portions of the Southeastern United States.

I'm at Anderson, Knox, Union, county lines. Yea I was asleep and thought someone was breaking in. Grabbed Old Maggie and went to investigate. Dogs were very upset. Got outside and saw nothing. Nephew in Knoxville texted me and asked if I felt it. FED EX came up ten minutes later and I figured they had came up and realized they missed a drop or something and came back.

“a lengthy quake of significant magnitude”

Significant magnitude?

That’s no more than a squrrel fart here in Southern California!

[babble-on]

I’m in Nashville but didn’t feel it.

Of course I’ve also been putting quarters in the “Magic Fingers” machine here at the motel all morning, so that may have muted the effect for me.

I'm less than 75 miles from the epi ...

Well when the squirrel farts big enough and California drops in the ocean, we will all cheer for you. You finally got a big one.

i was wondering about that myself after i saw the Miss one this morning? This is at least 3 miles short (depth) of the usual quakes in this fault. This wasn’t even a mile deep and it’s not along the immediate New Madrid (western Kentucky). Odd. (but what do i know as a lover of science but no expert?)

Felt it in Atlanta.

We had a little shaking here in Louisville... nothing major.

But, I heard the wall ornaments rattling.

It was centered Southeast of Hazard, KY and Northwest of Big Stone Gap, VA. Closer to Hazard looks like on the map.

if this indicates anything with the NM fault, well it could make all other disasters look pale in comparison from what I have read or heard from experts!

Christie must have taken up jogging.

[who knows what evil?]

Someone here was posting a list of potentially deadly earthquakes striking worldwide over the next two months...he posted it on several thread, but I can’t seem to locate it. Does anyone remember who was posting those?
