5.1-magnitude earthquake strikes 100 miles north of Charlotte, along Virginia border

A 5.1-magnitude earthquake hit about 2 miles from the town of Sparta, North Carolina, along the state's border with Virginia, according to the preliminary report from the US Geological Survey.

The quake, whose epicenter is in Alleghany County, was felt as far away as South Carolina and Georgia, according to social media posts. The USGS received reports from more than 300 miles away, in Atlanta. It struck about 8:07 a.m. ET. "It felt like a big locomotive going by and a big wave coming underneath the bed," said Sparta Mayor Wes Brinegar, who was awakened by the quake."A big wave coming to lift you.

It is normal to have earthquakes in this area? There is no tectonic plates frictions on the East part of USA....

Sounds about right

I was lying in bed, a nice quiet morning and all of a sudden the bed shook..TWICE. I am in the Shenandoah Valley of Va.

Trump did it

DianneG When we had a 5.7 in March no one gave a shit.

I live in Asheville NC and I felt it. The room shook for about 5-6 seconds. I knew it was an earthquake having gone through a major quake in LA during the 70's. Crazy!!!

IslandGirlPRV My daughter about 30 miles from Sparta said it was a good jolt guessed about a 5 . She is a California girl so earthquake don’t rattle her 😆 . But goodness doesn’t 2020 keep giving.

California: Meh, amateurs.

I vacationed in Sparta NC 15 Years ago... Won a monopoly tournament that week... Also, Stay clear of the bowling alley there... Trust me...

Guess Mother Nature is a little upset with all that Trump racism.

jnflesch 5.1? En Chile eso ni despierta

😪

I love how mother nature is doing everything in her power to just destroy the south. Good job woman!

For people that live in the west, 100 miles is nothing. North to South Carolina is like LA to San Diego.

Felt it here in Charlotte

GOD IS NOT HAPPY W/SOME ONE FROM NC- R , L OR BOTH?
