ETA:

Sister in central NC did not feel anything.
I recall her telling me she's a pretty sound sleeper, so this doesn't surprise me

That's interesting. I have close friends in Mineral that moved there in the last 4 years. How big was that one?

Yup....first for me too. I had just fallen back asleep, thought briefly it felt like a quake, but figured it was a big truck coming down the road, shaking the house. Was indeed a quake.

The epicenter was about 1 hr away from Winston-Salem (where I live). My dumb neighbors on the FB neighborhood page are posting what street they felt it on
