A so-called earthquake “swarm” that is hitting South Carolina appears to be getting stronger, researchers said this week.
Two earthquakes with a magnitude of 3.5 and 3.6, respectively, hit Wednesday close to Elgin, South Carolina, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Days before that, a 3.4 magnitude earthquake struck in another part of the state, while a 3.9 magnitude earthquake struck near the Georgia-South Carolina state line on June 18.

Geologist Wendy Bohon said in a video released by the state’s Emergency Management Division that they’re part of a string of about 30 quakes that have struck the state so far in 2022,

Is there such a thing or is HAARP fake news?
Ever since the existence of HAARP became public, a number of independent researchers have warned the operation has a secret agenda including:
– weather modification
– mind control
– hi-tech military experiments
– triggering of earthquakes

Back in 1811 there was a massive earthquake in New Madrid Missouri. It's said the Mississippi River suddenly flowed backwards. Some geological maps show "active' spots in South Carolina, and on the coast.
The thing is, terra ain't so firma.

These level of quakes are tiny and usually cause little or no damage. Back ten or 11 years ago my father's home in central Virginia was damaged and we lost some heirloom china pieces to a real quake, 5.8 level, and the epicenter was near my father's home.
Certainly 5.8 is nothing compared to the big quakes of California, but unusual in Virginia.
I wonder how many of these are not even noticed by residents.
As to #1, I'm convinced that the HAARP stuff is just stupidity on parade.

Growing up in L.A., earthquakes were a betting opportunity in our family. After the shaking stopped everyone would make their guess and put a dollar on the kitchen table. Then we would wait for Lucy Jones to come on the TV news and report the Richter scale reading. The closest number took the dollars on the table.
Lucy Jones became a local celebrity when she was a young woman. I can't remember which quake, but it was significant and happened on a weekend. I think at the time she was a graduate student at Cal Tech and the senior person on staff that weekend, so she was the one that spoke to the press. She was young, pretty and articulate. She got the gig for life. It made me smile to see her quoted in the article. Go, Lucy, go!
To South Carolina Ldotters, (the only state east of the Mississippi I visited and loved, before marrying TK a Chicago native, yuck) stay away from windows and shelter in a doorway. Don't go outside! Enjoy the ride, and don't over estimate the Richter. God bless.

Take a bowling ball and paper in with a thin layer of paper mache'. That thin layer is still many time thicker, proportionately, than the 'solid' layer of the Earth's crust that encased the raging molten inferno of the Earth's core. The Continents have drifted and shifted all over this molten ball, forming and reforming over billions of years.
Concerning to locals? Of course! Interesting? Definitely!
Scientists generally imagine plate tectonics to be a slow process. Maybe... they're wrong? Scientists have been wrong, before, even recently. Global Warming. Global Cooling. Rockets can't operate in space. Dinosaur femur ends, re-imagined as fossilized Giant... ball sacks. The list of scientific declarations being wrong is nearly endless.

Wake me when the price of beachfront property starts dropping to a reasonable level. I'll risk it.

Have they blamed the earthquakes on global warming yet?

I was sitting in front of a slot machine at a casino in Oklahoma City five years ago when an earthquake hit. You know, the ones caused by fracking. We all shook rattled and rolled for a minute. Cool!

Some people believe these quakes are aftershocks from the 7.1 quake in the 1880s that struck Charleston. That seems like a long time for aftershocks to be occurring, but there is still a lot we don't know about earthquakes.

Years ago, while visiting Charleston, I noticed many of the older buildings have earthquake bolts. It turns out, that South Carolina has the second highest earthquake activity outside of California. One building leans from an earthquake which occurred back before the Civil War, and it's still open with businesses inside.

I live in Charleston. The last big earthquake here is the one referred to in replies 9 and 10. It occurred in 1886. Building codes now take the possibility of earthquakes into account just like they do in California. A geologist acquaintance told us that we live on a fault line but it’s structure is such that a major earthquake here would be extremely rare. We are in more danger from hurricanes and flooding - which are also taken into account in building codes.
