What the...I'm moving..
"Mountain Earthquake
An earthquake rattles the mountains, fortunately leaving only minor damage behind.
The 3.7 magnitude earthquake caused a small rockslide on Highway 209 about a mile outside of Hot Springs in Madison County. The quake struck at 11:09 p.m. Wednesday night. It was centered in Eastern Tennessee just about 5 miles from Hot Springs. Officials say earthquakes here are common because we are on a fault line."
I'm sitting in QQ's apartment, and suddenly the WHOLE fucking building just JOLTED, and I'm looking around like "Wtf?"
It wasn't bad, it was just like, something heavy hitting the floor somewhere and causing a shake.
Apparently we had a minor earthquake, or the remnants of what happened in East TN.
Despite what this paper says, earthquakes WERE common here...a long ass time ago. We get little tremors from time to time, but nothing that actually was measurable like last night.
Great ole Asheville NC is on one of the largest fault lines in the US and Canada. That's why Mount Mitchell is the tallest mountain in the US until you get to the western coast. We havent' had anything measurable in a LONG ass time...Especially since it hit hot springs, that's fucking creepy. It's called hotsprings becuase of the magma that heats the water. Magma + earthquake = no.
If I wanted Earthquakes I'd live in california >.
