From The "Now What?!?!" Department - 4.1 Quake Rattles Georgia, South Carolina

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A small earthquake shook South Carolina and Georgia late Friday, shaking homes and rattling residents as far as 60 miles away.

The quake happened at 10:23 p.m. EST and had a preliminary magnitude of 4.1, according to the U.S. Geological Survey's website. It was centered 7 miles west of the town of Edgefield, S.C. "It's a large quake for that area," said USGS geophysicist Dale Grant. "It was felt all over the place."

Authorities across South Carolina said their 911 centers were inundated with calls of people reporting explosions or plane crashes as the quake's low rumble spread across the state.

Reports surfaced on Twitter of a leaking water tower in Augusta, Ga., following the quake, but the tower was damaged by ice from a winter storm earlier this week and not the quake, said Richmond County Sheriff's Lt. Tangela McCorkle.
