Earthquake in GA/TN.

[Stiler]

So was just sitting here and suddenly my whole house started shaking for a good 4-5 seconds, in south TN.

Looking at twitter there are people in GA (Atlanta) and other parts of TN that are reporting it as well.

Check on your old neighbours and stay safe. (TN?) E: Tennessee.

What in the fuck lol. I hope everyone is okay. I'm in NW Florida so I know these things for our region are incredibly unheard of.

USGS is reporting it at 4.4 or 3.3 magnitude for now. All I know is it was enough force that it woke everyone up around here. Certainly the biggest one I've ever felt.

I was wondering what that was. I thought I was having a muscle spasm or a seizure or something.

As usual Twitter is having a bit of fun with it lol

I did hear what sounded like a knock on a door but didn't feel anything here in East TN which apparently it hit.

My bedroom shelves were shaking over here near Atlanta. That was my first time ever feeling an earthquake.

There are earthquakes in that part of the country?

Yes, there's fault lines that run through TN/NC and such. However they aren't as common as out west or normally as big either. This past decade or so they've been getting more common though.

4.4 is "large truck driving by your house" tier. Requesting multiple sarcasmquotes added to earthquake in the OP.

Don't know what you mean, it's the greatest earthquake ever, from the standpoint of shaking.

Glad it's nothing major :)

I didn't feel shit north of Atlanta, which is good since I probably wouldn't have gone back to bed had I felt it.

I woke up and thought "man, that wind is really shaking the windows". Perhaps not just wind, eh?

I was up waiting on my Lyft for the airport and didn't feel a thing. I felt the last one from close to 20 years ago. I think that one was out of Alabama.

I've only every felt one a couple years ago i thought the pipes under my house were bursting. People in the neighborhood came out like the fuck is going on? Their reaction, the same as mine came from living here for 35+ years never experiencing one.

I'm sure parts of TN/GA get them from time to time but this makes 2 in the 35+ years of me living in east TN. Well, 1.5. 1. I'm still not sure if it was the earthquake or someone knocking on my front door.

Either it didn't make it over to Athens or I've now slept through an earthquake for a second time.

I remember that one. I thought it was from up north somewhere.

I slept through it but it woke my wife up and our local friends and family felt it too here 20 miles west of Atlanta.

 

[bshock]

I'm 50 miles NE of Atlanta and must have been sleeping too hard to feel it. Still remember the last one about 23 years ago that felt like the house was shifting.

I want to say the north east tip of Alabama but I could very well be wrong. Woke me up, it was pretty wild since I'd never experienced that before.

Just looked it up. It was 2003 and Fort Payne Alabama.

Was at work, augusta ga 3 hours from Atlanta, didn't feel anything
