Trust me, many are still crying about the ground moving.
Non earthquake zone people freak out easily about these things...

"Never heard of an earthquake in Alabama before this."I grew up in the heart of the "Heart of Dixie", and I was never aware of a single earthquake.

Also, a 3.0 is insignificant , even if it happens where earthquakes are unusual, not even news worthy.

Friends have told me of 10” rain last week due to TS Lee (possibly a hurricane at the time?) with flood damage and power outages. Now an earthquake!

Cardiac Tigers! Don’t you just long for a boring score like we saw in the Sullivan-to-Beasley era? With a PAT kicked by Rat Riley? I could use a boring game like that now.

More than likely from all the coal bed methane production in the area. They have them as well in southern Colorado for the same reason. Some liberals will find the right lawyer and sue for emotional stress.
