In WNC and SE of Knoxville Saturday AM. 4.1 shook my home with a low roar. 30+-secomds. Felt beyound Atlanta. The “BIG Mother” has had about enough. Gonna open up swallow all of Our sorry asses and then thrive with us melted in the core.

Really seemed to have lasted a significant
Minute. With the low roar. Thought it was a track hoe creeping up my tiny POA road heading up to fix another rain washout above me. My lab was pressed against the bed next to me, confused.
Hope everyone is safe from the ones you posted about.

I am in East Tennessee, and at first, I thought it was a semi-18-wheeler hauling fast on my little country road.
I guess the earth plates in this part of the world is getting active again.

The last big Kingston quake was 1907. Another one like that could kill thousands these days.
