After an extremely busy week, I was on the sofa resting this morning at about 9:30. A rumbling sound started, built in intensity, accompanied by the house shaking. It sounded like very deep thunder, and the china cabinet shook sufficiently to rattle the glasses. It lasted 10-15 seconds. Turns out there was an earthquake centered right along the TN/GA/NC line, 5 km down, magnitude 3.2.
One of my geology friends from my Georgia Southern days, Sherry Rich (also a former USGS employee) is on the mountain two houses down from us and was on it like a bee on honey. She located the information and was extremely excited to have finally, after an entire career in geology, experienced her first earthquake.
I have to say, it was pretty cool.
So that's the news from here! :)
