Glad you are OK. Let us know if there is much in the way of damage in the area.

I'll wait a while for the inevitable it's the dems repubs fault.

That's interesting.  Until a few weeks ago, the strongest earthquake I've ever been in was in SC (Charleston!).   We had a 4 or 5 something here (SF) recently.

That's a beautiful area you live in.  I used to stay in camps in the Tryon, Saluda, Hendersonville, Brevard area a lot.  I hear it's getting a lot more crowded with more people building mountain homes and whatnot in the area.

Well i haven't saw any damage to report yet.  a card my gf gave me fell off my monitor(ewwwww).


Nope the area still is very rural by most standards.   My biggest danger driving home is the deer in the nieghborhood.  

its just amazes me how loud the initial boom was i thought something just went supersonic across my roof...... the the rumbling and echos thru the mountians was very intense to say the least.


It  best not mess up my fishing for the weekend(suppost to be getting into the 70's)

glad to hear no damage, a teacher of mine in grade school had a house burn down due to a small earthquake breaking a gas line.  That must have been years ago.  There was also one just a year or two ago that woke my Mom and brother up.

We're from Weaverville, just north of Asheville.

Yep I felt it to. Was centered about 5 miles north of me.
No biggie, but still a 3.1 around here is news. :)

Here they have a unit on the gas line that if there is any movement, it auto shuts off the gas. Found out few weeks back when there was no hotwater. Utility guy came out & reset it. I think one of the kids had bumped into it with a bike.

Didn't feel anything here, though I-40 was a mess going into work this morning at the Wake County/Johnston County line.  Stupid sleet.

Glad everything's okay.  We appreciate your taking the punch and not letting it roll into Virginia.
