Anyone in GA/TN/NC Area Feel That Earthquake Awhile Ago?

Nothing here in Durham, NC. I've been on the 2nd floor of a 4 story, mostly glass building so if there was a tremor, the beakers here in the lab would have rattled.

When there are just loud booms like from explosions, backfires, low flying jets, etc, the birds don't react much at all. This was just eerie the way they hunkered down.

Nothing here; although I understand the Cape Fear riverbed is actually a fault line, so such a thing is certainly possible here. We frequently experience a phenomenon known as the "Seneca Guns;" a rumbling or booming that seems to come from somewhere offshore (even in clear weather).

Nothing in the Asheville area that I'm aware of.

Nothing down here with me..... but I'm kinda dense. It's very possible I could've just thought I had a caffeine headrush

A lot of people don't know we have fault lines. I've never felt one, but I'm glad! Can you call your local weather center and check? idk....

Here is a map of the fault lines in GA. See the one that runs up the western end of Fannin Co? (Fannin is shaped like Florida at the top of GA-the fault runs through Cartersville and straight up to the GA/NC line where we live)

Cyn there is no possible way you would feel a 2.6 from Alaska. You may think you had a touch of vertigo that lasted 2 seconds if one that small was right under your own feet. I do understand people that don't live in earthquake country getting freaked out by them though. I would be a basket case if I saw a tornado.

I think the US is riddled with fault lines that us non-geological types even know about. 4.5 is a good foot massage. Anything higher, somethings gonna break.
