YES

That's what's kind of strange, we're about an hour away from Sparta and got no reactions from the dogs or horses even though we felt it.

I've never felt anything in 35 years here.

I didn't feel anything today.

Wake me up if it's an 8 or higher.

smoke video from Panama City is connected. Its a volcano waking up. Look up Wakulla volcano.

Last time it went completely dormant was during the Charleston earthquake back in 1886.

I figure there are no guarantees when it comes to EQs. I lived in SE KS for years and we had a bunch - there and in OK. Most were in OK, but we could feel them where we were in Wichita. People blamed it on fracking. The first strong one the house was moving and I went running outside thinking there was a bulldozer trying to knock the house down. LOL! But there was nothing there, and I thought, "Oh, that's what an earth quake feels like!" Now I move back to Georgia and we are having them here, too. Go figure.

Does anyone else think China and U.S. are waging weather wars?

The Bravard fault runs from Alabama to Virginia just a smidge to the west of Sparta ... might be from that.

My cats didn't even move much less act up before or even during the quake.

Hubby and I are feeling weird since though ... woozy, I feel like I'm constantly swaying, weird.

I thought it was an earthquake and a rather large one for the area. It woke me up and the house was vibrating for a while here in east tennesee.

Think I saw this, maybe about a year ago. A post or a comment within a post talking about a 55 year old terrorist raining camp. Saved this info:

5.1

St Lucia Volcano means we have 30 days left on earth.

Prediction from 1970's.

It rocked the little pos trailer I live in here in Kershaw County SC.

Thanks, Trump!

This.

Good. Earth needs destroyed. People have gone batshit crazy

Two military choppers just flew over, in Raleigh. They don't come by here very often. It made me think they finished their mission and are heading back to base in Fayetteville.

LOL. In places like California, Mexico or New Zealand, a 2.6 is not much more noticeable than someone farting.

Sparta is minutes away from two state parks, Stone Mountain and Grayson Highlands, both of which offer outstanding hiking and forest experiences.

The New River is ironically an ancient river system, the oldest on the North American continent and second only to the Nile River in Africa as the oldest river in the world.

My granddaughter usually has me up at the crack of dawn but this morning we actually slept until about 9:15 so I didn't feel anything. My oldest daughter said she felt it and couldn't figure out what was going on.

sw va near carolina border, felt it!

Yeah, after leaving Cali I went to Florida....thought I was safe, but noooo. I was sitting in front of my PC and felt the familiar shaking....there was a rogue 6.1 in the Gulf.

I gotta tell ya, it was nice to finally have things hanging on the walls 'cause I knew they weren't going to fall on my head.

Then, there was also one in the Springs in Colorado. We were on the third story of an apt. building, and it swayed pretty good. My roomie was the one who it was her first EQ. Poor thing.

I don't think there's a "safe" place on the planet, but there are some that are better than others. I'll take my chances with the high winds and dust storms and possible flooding here in New Mexico.....over EQs? Anyday!

The Philippines....


I woke up one night and my bed was bouncing around the room like it was possessed. I was only about six and it scared the bejesus outta me.....

My mom injured her arm while freaking out during that one....
