You'd think N.C. would not have any earthquakes.... found a few links on the web:

http://www.geology.enr.state.nc.us/haz/quake.htm

http://www.high-point.net/dept/fire/em/eq.htm

http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/states/north_carolina/

If the links don't work just "google" earthquakes north carollina.

a 3.8 sounded like dynomite / sonic boom ?? I cant imagine what a "nice sized" one sounds like then. Like 5.0 and above.

Are you sure it wasn't a meth lab explosion?

Didn't feel a thing out here in Fayetteville. :)That's only because the shockwave takes a long time to travel through those 22" wheels.

I suppose any place thats got mountains would be subject to earthquakes. Hot Springs being on the border of Tennessee is probably located in the mountains, however small they may be. Those North Carolina mountains didn't grow quietly.
