At about 9:04 this morning, Lexi jumped off the bed and ran into the bathroom looking up at the ceiling. Janie heard a loud noise that seem to come from the attic and called out to me. I heard what sounded like an animal crawling on the roof which quickly subsided. Later we heard reports of the earthquake that was centered on Greenback, TN and reported as far south as Atlanta.
Small magnitude quakes are not uncommon along the Appalachians. The map below shows all reported earthquakes stronger than magnitude 2.5 since 2010 in the region. You can geek out on all reported information at the USGS page here.
