WHAT’S GOING ON: Lowcountry Experiences Earthquake, but Many Slept Through it.

The US Geological Survey recorded a magnitude 2.2 earthquake 5 miles SSE of Summerville around 4:49 this morning.

Although the rumbling could be felt as far away as Atlanta and Savannah, according to South Carolina emergency management officials, there were no reports of damage in the affected areas.

The state’s history of quakes makes it no stranger to seismic activity, but today’s 2.2 is nowhere near the East Coast’s benchmark earthquake in Charleston which registered a magnitude 7.3 in 1886. That quake could be felt as far away as New York and Cuba.

If you felt today’s rumble, the USGS wants to know. Tell them HERE. Tell us about it in the “Comments” section.
