Rolesville, NC here. Did not notice it.

[Fiji Hill]

Earthquakes do occur in that part of the country. A big one destroyed Charleston, SC in 1886.

[moovova]

Felt it in Charlotte...heard a slight creak in the house framing

[contrarian]

Just my luck. I slept through it 10 miles east of Lenoir which is 40 air mile from the epicenter. I will now go and get ready for the plague of locusts, hail stones, lightning bolts from the heavens that I am sure will follow.

Here in beautiful downtown Bat Cave NC, a hair clip fell off my wife’s dresser, I stepped on it and broke it. We will rebuild.

[MinorityRepublican]

Didn’t feel it but I’m in a big apartment building.
