Somebody didn't pay their tithing to Falwell and their donations to Trump. God is angry.

I'm VERY THANKFUL nobody got hurt or worse. Quite a bit of damage to many properties. I'll use the usual saying,"things can be replaced. A persons life cannot and is more preciiys. Than any articles of property. There ARE talk of "more may come",this week. So keep yourself at least slightly on guard.

I not only felt it; I was even @ the most ironic place when it hit: Sitting on the porcelain throne doing my business; well, thank the Lord for not worrying about getting the sheet scared out of me!

Sunday's quake occurred at a shallow depth estimated at 2.3 miles deep, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (which has been revising this number), amplifying the effects felt on the ground. Earthquake surface waves - the kind that produce the shaking we feel on the ground - travel farther on the East Coast than in the West. That's because the crust east of the Rockies is less fragmented and more consolidated.
At first glance, Sunday's earthquake appears to have originated near the Eastern Tennessee seismic zone, a strip of seismic activity that stretches from the high terrain of eastern Tennessee northeastward up the Appalachians into the Carolinas. At least 5-magnitude or greater quakes have occurred in that pocket since the late 1600s, including near Sparta.
Initial data suggests the quake was from an oblique reverse-slip event. Reverse faults are fractures in Earth's crust that occur at an angle. Ordinarily, one block of crust is displaced vertically above the other. The higher fault, known as the "hanging wall," is forced up the lower "foot wall." Reverse faults feature the buildup of compressional stress. The Rocky Mountains and Himalayas were formed as a result of reverse fault processes.
Thrust faults are a type of reverse fault in which the interface between two blocks of crust is closer to horizontal than it is vertical. That, in essence, causes one plate to slip beneath another. Sometimes, the blocks slip laterally alongside one another while one moves beneath the other. That appears to be the case with Sunday morning's event, making it an "oblique reverse" slip.

With global warming getting even hotter till at least the middle of September, we can expect horrendous storms dumping torrents of rain on the surfaces of the land. That water will trickle down into the deepest bedrock of the continent, lubricating the Laurentian Craton and making slips all along the Fault lines . A 5.1 will probably be the mildest quake you will ever see from now until Pangea Ultima forms.

That's why so many houses catch fire during and after hurricanes.Owners know they have no coverage but fire and they put a match to them. I remember watching Katrina and you saw rows of houses standing in water with no electricity going to them and yet they were on fire.

an aftershock just rattled and cracked a small jar here in my livingroom at 8:00 this evening and I was hoping that we wouldn`t get the tremors now that the big one went by this morning

This was apparently the largest earthquake in NC since 1916.

Average homeowners insurance doesn't cover earthquakes......it costs extra so most don't have it.

I felt the one around 2 a.m.; then had just walked into the den when the big one hit around 8:10.

Scary stuff! A 5.1 is no joke... I wonder if insurance covers earthquake damage in this area?
