Posted on Aug-09-20 at 01:00 PM (Eastern) by 69.61.172.69 5.1-magnitude earthquake strikes North Carolina, is felt hundreds of miles away The quake is the strongest to hit the state in more than a century A preliminary 5.1-magnitude earthquake occurred near Sparta, in northwestern North Carolina, at 8:07 a.m. Sunday, close to the Virginia border. The quake rattled the Carolina Piedmont but was reportedly felt as far away as Atlanta, part of Tennessee, Washington and Ohio. It appears to be the strongest North Carolina quake in more than a century, since the 1916 quake that struck near Asheville in Buncombe County. That quake was also probably 5.1 or slightly stronger in magnitude. The Sunday quake is the strongest tremor in the Mid-Atlantic since the 5.8-magnitude event on Aug. 23, 2011, in Mineral, Va. There were some reports of minor damage in the vicinity of Sparta, including of items tossed off shelves at a grocery market and belongings shaken off their perches atop shelves and shattered. Some power outages also were reported. 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.
