Anyone feel that earthquake in Columbia about 5 minutes ago?

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Is that normal? I might need to cancel my fall trip
Nothing in the upstate. Lived in Columbia/midlands for about 20 years. Never felt an earthquake before.
Apparently it was 3.43.
I couldn’t feel it on the coast but 4 of my family members felt it strong in Columbia
It was upgraded to a 3.6- highest one ever in the midlands apparently. There was an earlier 3.4 today that I also felt. Both were easily felt in Columbia.
Wazzzup dude!
Did you hear it? Fam said it sounded like jets buzzing the house or something like that.
Definitely Sounded like a large plane flying low but we have McIntyre and Shaw AFB so not uncommon for large military or fighters to fly over. But when it didn’t stop for a minute we were like holy shit. I’m in forest acres and that’s the first one I’ve felt.....pretty wild
The fault line by Charleston is due for a big one. Maybe it will thin out some of the overcrowding in the lowcountry.
You from FA? I went to cardinal newman and lived on lakeshore. Trip out
Hey brother!
Yeah I did. Felt and heard it. Then yesterday, an oak above my bedroom split in half and crashed my power and messed up some shit on my house.
I think the earthquakes and the recent rain had something to do with it but wth knows?
Anyway, I’m without power until Tuesday unless I can find somebody willing to work the holiday weekend. So far, no dice.
