Hope it is a one-off for you.

We had our excitement a few weeks ago and go to the UNR seismo lab (http://www.seismo.unr.edu/Earthquake) for updates.

Stay safe.

Now M4.1, but still. In SC?!

They are popping up on Twitter from all over the area.

and commented at the time to a companion.

I haven't been to The Beacon in years.

Howdy neighbor!

We used to call it both.
One of my best friends lived in Roebuck.

And I am less than 70 miles away, as the crow flies.

But I just heard about it on Channel 4 news.

in the area. Stay safe and warm.

But the local news here in the capital said the epicenter is located on a fault line.

The earth is a dynamic planet, and the continents are all moving all the time. There are earthquakes everywhere because of this. I have experienced them in Michigan where there are no known big faults long before there was fracking.

So please put the fracking/earthquake causality out of your mind. Or cite a geologist's paper to back up that fracking causes earthquakes.

Sick of this unscientific shit.

I thought I was imagining things until a neighbor asked me if I felt it a couple of minutes later.

It was the shrimp cocktail, I bet.
