I felt this Lawrenceville Georgia
No power and cant even sleep now cause damn earthquakes are waking me up now, what next?
Poo baaby. Wake me when it hits 6.0+. I’ve been in 4 above 7.1. That’s a ride brother. My oldest was born the dat of the Whittier-Narrows quake. Christopher Represents!!! BooYah.
Skeeters.
TBG keeps telling Pharaoh Haley to let his people go, but I guess we’ll have to go through a few more plagues.
Hard to say which are worse, skeeters or locusts. At least locusts don’t give you West Nile Virus…
Forest fire, tornado, electrical storms, take your pick.
what next?

old skeezers with tea bags.
Gotta wonder if the cold weather exacerbated the ground movement, a la Toronto ice quakes last month.
You do realize that once you get down 6-8 feet the ground temperature stabilizes. In SC it’s probably stable 2-3 feet down.
Felt it in High Schools Nc
Felt it lexington sc
felt this south of charlotte!
Laying in bed and felt the whole apt. building move.
We felt it in Woodstock, GA…our whole living room shook,
Columbia,sc this really scared me!
Felt it in Lexington SC.. definitely didnt like the sound of the house as it was shaken. Snow, ice and a earthquake! Just curious of the possibility of aftershocks?
Thought another tree fell on the house. Till I realized the floor was shaking. Pretty intense couple days here in Aiken, SC. And yes, centered about at the SRS plant. Thats scary…
That is frightening
I was Nikki Haley’s love reunion will Will Folks.
It was a Folks-o-gasim, not a earthquake.
hahahahahahahaha
Actually it’s the best thing that could happen to Augusta.
The heck with checking building foundations, that can wait.
.
What about all those OLD CRACKING TANKS with HIGH LEVEL LIQUID RADIOACTIVE WASTE that still sit at SRP after years and years and years of diddling about their safety and the waste’s ultimate fate.
.
Fortunately Templeton is now pushing the feds to finally do something and is trying to fine them heavily for their interminable delay. Next she should turn her sights on the easily manipulated “facilitators” of delay who she inherited in her own agency.
Felt it in Charlotte, NC.
I heard my china cabinet glasses rattling and the chimes in the backyard ringing at the same time and knew something was happening in Charlotte here near Lake Wylie, S C
Felt it in Evans, Ga
My sofa was shaking and it woke my wife from a sound sleep. It felt like our entire building was shaking. Columbia, SC 29212.
Felt on the outskirts of Spartanburg – shook the entire house.
felt in Columbia sc 29204
Felt it strong in Greenville, SC. It freaked me out!
29307 one hour ago.
2 hours my ass.
My husband and I felt the entire house shake for a few seconds…we live near Fort Jackson, and thought it was some drill they were performing. Columbia SC
I felt it and it was still limp.
Damn MF Skippy. 4. Meh.
Felt it in irmo, sc
Thought I was goin die!!!!!!!!!!
I though I was too!
Yep we felt it here on Hilton Head Island..shook our building & rattled sliding doors for a few seconds…and immediately texted our son up in Clemson and they felt it too!
Me and my wife felt the quake in Clover S.C. 29710. We live near the state line where King Mountain and Clover meet. (King Mountain Battleground) Our home shook for roughly 4 sec.
Registered a 5 on the Richter Scale in Clemson.
Oh hell. DAWGS are gonna hit that easy. 194 Days.
Not surprised, since “Clemson” and “overrating” go hand in hand…
Felt my house shake just a little, orangeburg on the fault line @ I26. Texted my hubby @10:26…thought something @ his chemical company exploded!
Orangeburg huh, glad it didn’t start rolling.
Orangeburg is on the fall line, probably an ancient shoreline. I can see where it might sound like fault line though.

Earthquake? It was Clowney practicing for the NFL combine…….
More likely it was just the popping of a gas bubble in his upset tummy.
Bring on the Hurricane then we will see all those fine cuts to core services that have been cut for real.
Was at a Club in downtown Charleston and didn’t feel a thing…Maybe because I was at a Club in downtown Charleston, LOL
Partying with T-Rav?
“Finally, the DJ pumped up the bass.”
felt here in Gaffney SC, still in shock
“shock”, some people really are candy-asses. If someone pops a balloon, could it cause you to have a stroke?
Folly Beach: house shook
Weirdest thing- my roomates and I didn’t feel it here in aiken, however our friends at usc aiken dorms did!
I thought SC really was seceding from the country. Shake rattle and roll.
No democrat slave-holders left, to do that.
Nope.
They all migrated to the Republican Party when Johnson created the “Great Society.”
We all decided to keep it a secret from the stupid people.
It was Satan, rearranging furniture in hell for Sharon.
Makes sense. Of course Satan would wait until the evening when some folks are trying to sleep. What a douche.
What do you expect? He’s a Republican!
It was Strom (not liberal ambulance-chaser Pete) turning over in his grave at the miserable disaster we’ve installed as president.
Your biggest regret is that building codes kept federal buildings from simply falling over to illustrate the independence of your state from federal guidelines.
I was wondering how long it would take for you to blame it on Obama.
Was he responsible for the Ice/Snow storm too? Do i even have to ask?
BTW, felt nothing here in 29617 (Greenville).
I blamed Strom, Dumb@$$…
Valentines Day 2014=Grand Tango pounding his pud=Earthquake.
I just figured it was GrandTango falling out of bed.
SINNERS – REPENT..!!
Think it’s the gays this time?
If by “the gays” you mean 9″ and Grand Tango……maybe so.
I suspected as much.. I blame Rove’s fumbling of the Romney campaign for the Philippines storm.
You’re going to have to explain the connection there…
It’s not funny if you have to explain it!
Go for it, there’s nothing on TV over here tonight but a Axemen rerun
Falwell and Robertson, the Republican brain trust of yesteryear, decided that storms were God’s retribution for sinful politics.
I take it back, I’ll watch Axemen, you were right it wasn’t funny
Maybe next time, you’ll take my word for it?
I thought that was GT’s convulsing butt
,and it felt good
The newlyweds were consummating their marriage when an earthquake struck. The bride sighed, lost in love. The groom said, “I have to warn you, honey, it won’t always be this good.”
A crack in the earth said to another, “Don’t look at me. It’s not my fault.”
A tremor rumbled through a nightclub. One dancer called out. “More bass!”
A wino was shaken awake by a vigorous earthquake. He turned to his buddy and said, “I don’t remember drinking that!”
Anyone remember the two quakes centered in Harbison State Forest? The first tremor was about 8:15 am and the second tremor was about 3:15 pm. The first tremor shook my second floor apartment, and I thought that a car had jumped the sidewalk and hit the building, which was about 2 miles from the epicenter. The second tremor occured while I was getting acquainted with a new lady friend who was living just 1/5 of a mile away across Broad River Road. We didn’t even notice the quake.
I hear those Broad River hookers charge half-price during the afternoon, is that true?
Your sister charged double because that was the only time she was wide awake.
Someone is lying to you, I don’t have a sister. Nice 4th grade try, those remedial courses are really starting to work for you.
That’s not his sister, that’s his wife!
The question was about the quakes in Harbison State Forest.
So you thought his sister was working the forestry service?
so you didn’t have to break a five?
Shifty’s a generous man.
He tipped 25%. (Used the whole $5)
Ruined it for the rest of us.
Dammit.
You watched the transaction? OMG, you two didn’t… uh…

Best posts from FB last night, “It was Vincent Smith’s helmet finally returning to the earth from Clowneys hit”. 1st runner up “Clowney sack Boyd again”. 2nd runner up, “The Clemson head cheerleader got tipped over”. and lastly the 4th place finisher, “I just hope Chris Christie doesn’t do a cannonball off the pier, or we will have a Tsunami next”.
Sorry guys….
TBG has put on a few extra pounds in the last decades (TBG blames Golden Corral , Ryan’s, the proliferation of Chinese buffets and…the start of it all… the appropriately named Duff’s Smorgasboard….mmmmmmmmmm Duff’s).
Anyway, when his electricity was restored after being AWOL for 49 hours TBG leapt for joy.
Once again, sorry for any inconvenience, interrupted coitus or foundation cracks.
“There was a *vibration!*”
Must have been from Fracking…. Yeah Fracking…that’s it.
Let’s make fun of pollution some more! LOL! That’s so cool!
Why not make fun of pollution, every thing we do causes pollution. When we breath we cause pollution, when we take a dump we cause pollution, hell even when a cow farts it caused pollution. Yep mother nature is funny like that, every thing we do causes pollution.
Now come on and give me a comeback, we all know it’s coming, you are so predictable. :)

Oh please! stop.. stop… LOL!
excuse me, I’m going to go shit on the couch!
Let’s see Federal Aid money. ..state employees and guardsmen worked overtime…Haley take the money but give them all comp time I will use the money for hmmmm…other purposes.
So the epicenter was in Edgefiled huh? Well I thought I’d finally done it for Vaentine’s Day, but apparently I did not make the earth shake last night and my gitlfriend and the seismologist are in agreement on something…damn it.
Awfully close?
The epicenter is approximately 50 miles from the entrance to SRP, and close to 60 from the tank farms.
Haley was having a hell of a swinger party at the Governor Mansion and it cracked the earth. Dear God Doctors Care will be busy this weekend with all the STD’s.
South Carolina seems like the perfect place to put another Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Its a great day in South Carolina. ;-D
postscript:
it only takes one grain of plutonium dust to give you cancer, but it isn’t detectable.
Authorities were investigating a possible radiation leak at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, N.M. An air monitor detected radiation near the plant Friday night, KRQE-TV, Albuquerque, reported. However, it was unclear exactly how much radiation has been released from the WIPP.
It truly is the best day in South Carolina for nuclear power … :D)))) SCE&G luvs Niki.
Radiation, Education, Vacation
I was 7 miles from Edgefield (Edgefield/Aiken County line) when quake hit at 10:23PM. It felt like a subway train going underneath us & rattled the house, but no pictures off the wall; lasted about 30 seconds. BTW Edgefield/Aiken County residents not real thrilled with Nikki Haley’s visit!
Some of you are pathetic idiots!
Some of you are pathetic idiots!

wow! I wish I’d said that!
I’m relatively certain that a dood born in New Mexico that lives in Texas who trolls a blog that covers mostly South Carolina related issues qualifies as the most pathetic idiot.
My momma always told me I was unique!
Don’t hate me because I’m talented.
You get no participation trophies here.

Maybe it was the group twerk at Miley’s Bangerz tour.
Felt all the way to Charleston. Simran probably thought the universe was trying to have a conversation. What a flake.
