Was said to have been felt in Charlotte, N.C. Nothing here where I live.

Charleston, South Carolina actually had one of the largest, if not THE largest, earthquake in the eastern U. S.

I do realize, however, that Edgefield is a long way from Charleston.

That said, I think the recent earthquake activity in Oklahoma is due to fracking.

THanks

In fact, it is uncertain that fracking causes earthquakes at all.

Earthquakes happen everywhere on the planet, even where there are no known faults. I've felt them more than once in my life in Michigan, long before there was fracking.

The people who are claiming that fracking causes tremblers may have a case, but the science is dodgy. It has not been studied much and it is certainly uncertain (to turn a phrase). Correlation does not mean causation. Again, earthquakes happen everywhere.

If one thinks there is a danger from fracking one should get geologists on their side. Not all of them work for the oil companies; there are many academics. Certainly one could get one of them to explain the science, no matter whether earthquakes are from the fracking or not.

In the meantime, people should stop screeching about fracking every time there is a trembler. If one doesn't have the science behind them, one only has screeching which only undermines the objective when the science proves one wrong.

Frankly, I don't think fracking causes earthquakes.

And no, I do not like fracking.

It's usually low level but it occurs in each state. Conn. is really light compared to our neighboring states, but still has them. We had two earthquakes (M2.2) a few months ago that caused loud booms that shook people up.

And the next town over has a village called Moodus known for it's earth noise.

Didn't feel it here in north Durham, NC, either.

But sure felt the 3.4???? Tremor a few years ago in the 10 story office tower I was working in in Durham. Talk about freaky-- not being from California! I guess tremors are amplified the taller the structure. Plenty of tall buildings in Charlotte in which folks could feel a tremor.

located in Mineral VA.

Quite a bit larger, considering every 1/10 of an increase in magnitude is a tenfold increase in shaking.

I remember that one too, considering I was less than 10 miles from the epicenter. My first thoughts went towards the 2 nuclear reactors just a few miles away.

Told my family we just had an earthquake, but nobody else felt it so they were telling me I was imagining things. I got the last laugh this morning
