I just heard a large boom and then the house shook for about 10 seconds. It was scary. There was another about 5 hours earlier that was recorded at 2.8. I didn't feel the first one but definitely felt the 2nd one. ETA: Evidently the 2nd one was 3.3.

Anyone else experiencing these where you live? A lot of people on Nextdoor reporting in that they heard/felt it also.

We are up on 61 in W. Ashley not too far from the fault line. Low rumbles and the house was shaking pretty good. It was over in about 2-3 seconds. My worry is that we had 3 quakes today, this is typically an indication that more are on the way. Let's just pray they stay mild and no damage done.

Not the one around 1:00pm, but definitely felt and heard the one around 6:30. Serious shaking and loud noise. Best I can tell, the epicenter of that one was near Wescott.

I think there were 3 in the area today.

I read that 4 was incorrect, but apparently there were 3:

A geologist from CofC on news5 said the first 2 were kind of "pre-shocks" instead of one larger one and smaller aftershocks.
