A mag 4 quake is just at the point when it is maybe noticeable, with or without damage.
We have had at least 7 of them in the Philippines so far this month, and several within 100 miles of me.
The mag 8 quake that hit Bohol recently did considerable damage on Bohol, and some damage here on Cebu, mostly in Cebu city.
We have a very good web site for quakes: http://www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/
The house seen in the opening page is quite interesting. Read the caption.
The second link gives us up to the min. quake notices:

That actually varies a lot depending on ones' distance to the epicenter, the depth of the quake, the local geology, the structure one is in, and so on. A recent 2.6 near LaCenter, KY, was surprisingly "noisy", and was felt by quite a few people who were right on top of it.

I poked around Phivolcs for a bit - very interesting, including the two “smoldering” (?) volcanoes, Taal and Mayon.

“That actually varies a lot depending on ones’ distance to the epicenter, the depth of the quake”
__________________________________________________
Yes, if your on the epicenter, you can feel most any tremor.
I am referring to quakes that are 50-100 miles away.
If I am sitting perfectly still in my chair, I might feel a
very slight 2 second vibration from a mag 4 quake on Bohol, which is about 50 km from me. I can see Bohol from my beach.
Judging by the chart, they seem to consider anything over a 4 to be significant, as they highlight the magnitude in a darker black.
By the way, one can register for the USGS Earthquake Notification System. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/
They will email you when there is a significant quake anywhere in the world. I have been a member for about five years.

From the Fox News article and the devotion to accuracy department...
Reports surfaced on Twitter of a leaking water tower in Augusta, Ga., following the quake, but the tower was damaged by ice from a winter storm earlier this week and not the quake, said Richmond County Sheriff's Lt. Tangela McCorkle.

Was this felt in Charleston??

No word from my son who lives in Ladson - he normally posts anything like this to facebook in a few minutes.

Felt nothing here in Savannah.

I slept through one near this same location back in 71 or 72. It happens.

There are several fault lines that run through the Georgia/South Carolina midlands.

There use to be a big mud volcano near Winder, Ga. It dried up shortly after the big New Madrid quake. Some speculate that they were related. I am skeptical.
