Yes, but several that live in and around Columbia, SC.

And it looks like a 5.1 just happened in North Carolina according to the USGS. Felt it down here in Cola.

I thought you were talking about the Columbia, LA, the Pride of Caldwell Parish and home of the McKeithen family.

I live in Raleigh and it woke me up. However, Facebook and our community page said nothing about it. You're the first person to make me feel like I'm not losing my mind haha.

Ya you would definitely have felt it there. Looks like the epicenter was near Sparta.

Up in Blowing Rock, NC and we felt it. Thought it was a big truck driving by but it kept going too long.

Calm down 2020

I live southeast of Raleigh and felt it. Sometimes we get buzzed by military Aircraft going to ft Bragg. But this was longer and much more violent.

My old man is in/on sugar mountain... I was there most of July, building a master bathroom addition. Proud to say it is still standing. First time I've been tested by anything not called a hurricane.

I felt it in South Carolina. Took me a few hours is to read about it online and confirm what I felt.
