CNN: Mild 4.1 Earthquake in Tennessee felt across the Southeast

CNN - Earthquake in Tennessee felt across the Southeast

By Rebekah Riess

A mild 4.1 magnitude earthquake just southeast of Greenback, Tennessee, was felt across the southeastern region of the United States Saturday morning, including in North Carolina and the Atlanta, Georgia, metropolitan area.

The approximately 15.5-mile-deep quake struck shortly after 9 a.m. Saturday, according to information from the US Geological Survey.

The Eastern Tennessee seismic zone extends across Tennessee and northwestern Georgia into northeastern Alabama. It is one of the most active earthquake areas in the Southeast. Although the zone is not known to have had a large earthquake, a few earthquakes in the zone have caused slight damage.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

First earthquake I have ever experienced. I thought at first it might be a bulldozer or something rumbling past. I hope I never have to experience a bad one, if that was considered mild.
