Sitting at my computer fixing to get dressed to go riding when the house shook for 15 seconds with a pretty good rumble waking my daughter up and she sleeps good. I live near the Martin Marietta Quarry but never knew them to blast on Sunday. Finally the news started talking about it there were 2 Earthquakes this morning. A 2.6 magnitude followed a little later by a 5.1 at 8:07 AM 2 miles from Sparta NC. Never experienced that. First time for everything I guess.

Nuttin in Maggie Valley. I was bed dancing (no, not that - just bed dancing) and didn't feel any additional shaking.

The mountains must have absorbed the shaking.... |

Nothing felt here in Moore County. We are about 30 miles from the geographic center of NC. Pinehurst is the famous place in our county.
Looked at a map of where it should have been felt and it showed it didn't make it that far. Back in 1997 I got to go to the Pinehurst Country Club for a Managers retreat when I ran a Concrete plant. We stayed in a Cabana there. We ate there on Saturday night rare Prime Rib with a crusty outside. Best I ever had. My friend and I tried to give the man carving it 50 dollars for half of one leftover but he was scared to do it. We were suppose to go to the Rockingham Cup race but it got rained out. Besides getting to golf there most of our free time was spent in Aberdeen at a place called Gold Dust.  |

I have friends and relatives in Whitmire, SC saying they felt it... Some reports it was felt as far away as Atlanta...
So far no reports of damage or injuries, so that's good at least...

Couple of my friend in Gaffney and Blacksburg SC called me this morning and said they felt it. Just a little rumble. I saw pictures of the Food Lion grocery store in Sparta NC. A few products had fallen off the shelves but it didn't look too bad. |

Besides getting to golf there most of our free time was spent in Aberdeen at a place called Gold Dust. Bristol, TN-Va folks tell us it shook the dishes in the kitchen. In the Sandhills: That strip joint is still in Aberdeen. It has changed names a couple of times. The diner restaurant is still next door. They give you a lot to eat, but it never appears particularly sanitary. Rockingham is now a ghost track. Last racing there was in 2006. Twas a good Strip Club. As for Nascar I don't think it will survive much longer. As if it wasn't stupid enough here lately it has been unbelievably stupid. |

My brother lives just below Augusta GA. He called and told me he was sitting on his porch this morning and felt it. Earthquake covered some ground today. |

Glad all is good and so far everyone O K! RIDE SAFE. Glad it wasn't like the ones I have seen on TV out west. Funny my daughter was woke up by it here and told me to stop. I sometimes wake everybody up by making noise or shaking their bed etc. When she saw it wasn't me she got curious asking what was going on. Told her dunno we will see I guess. |

Some years ago, we had our only noticeable earthquake in Alexandria (and surrounds) (in almsot 30 years).
I happened to have both bikes out of the shed at the time, and it was pretty strange watching both bikes rocking and rolling on their kickstands in my driveway. No damage, but a weird moment. I thought I had left all that behind me after leaving SoCA where it happened more often than rain.

My daughter in Raleigh said her headbord on the bed was shaking for a few seconds. She didn't know what it was a first but had a few friends call her to ask if she had felt anything. She's near downtown.
