4.1 Earthquake::

WOW The house started shaking and there was a rumbling noise. Earthquake for sure. No damage that I can see or tell. It was an earthquake in Greenback TN, 70 miles from us. The house shook for almost a minute. Haven't hear if any damage was reported yet.


UPDATE: Earthquake Shakes Tennessee-North Carolina Border Area

A magnitude 4.1 earthquake was recorded early Saturday morning near the Tennessee–North Carolina border. The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake happened at 9:04 a.m. local time on May 10, 2025.
The earthquake’s center was about 13 miles southeast of Greenback, Tennessee, and around 14 miles south of Maryville. It was measured at a depth of 16 miles underground.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, but people across eastern Tennessee and parts of western North Carolina said they felt the ground shake.
Earthquakes of this size are usually considered minor, but they can still cause light shaking and surprise residents in areas not used to seismic activity.
More information and updates are available on the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program website.
