..."Earthquakes in Georgia’s Coastal Plain "are few and far between, and could potentially be destructive," Newman told WXIA, NBC's affiliate in Atlanta. "A good example of that is the 1886 Charleston earthquake."
Four federal inmates missing from Virginia minimum security facility
The quake in Charleston, South Carolina damaged about 2,000 buildings and killed 60 people. Modern estimates have placed its magnitude between 6.9 and 7.3.
"While the South isn’t known for earthquakes, but they do happen," the U.S. Geological Survey tweeted. Most of North America east of the Rocky Mountains has infrequent earthquakes.
The only more powerful earthquakes in the region in recent years were a 4.4-magnitude temblor centered near Decatur, Tennessee, in December 2018 and a 4.1-magnitude quake centered near Edgefield, South Carolina in February 2014.
A region of South Carolina around Columbia has experienced 31 earthquakes and aftershocks beginning Dec. 27."
