Yes,earthquakes have aftershocks. You've never heard that? 1st in my 50 years here at home. California? Yes. But we do live near a fault line yall.

As a matter of fact yes several of them.

If you look at the fault map it looks more like the linville Falls fault as the brevard fault doesn't go through sparta

Yep!

In Moravian Falls up Balls Mill Road off 115. We were on the porch and could hear it coming. Then the porch started moving side to side slightly. Pretty cool experience!
That's funny I had the exact opposite experience in that I felt it first and could here the roar moving away from me up 221.

Scarey, felt like a dinosaur walked across the porch and shook the kitchen. Was in the 6.4 quake in California about 50 years ago. Scarey then too.

Yes I felt it also. This is rare here in Wilkes Co? I have lived here 15 plus years and I do not remember this happening to this magnitude before.

I am in the mountain view area
