COLUMBIA, S.C. ¡X After weeks of relative quiet, South Carolina's Midlands once again came alive with the rumble of seismic
activity. But this time, maps suggest it didn't originate in Kershaw County.
While data is still preliminary, the U.S. Geological Survey reports that a magnitude 2.5 earthquake was responsible for what
several across the Columbia area felt around 9:33 p.m. on Sunday.
Perhaps most surprising, however, is that the quake, based on the early date was centered under the eastern portion of Fort
Jackson and just east of Colonels Creek.
The earthquake is the 81st in the Columbia area since late December. However, it's one of the few that occurred outside of the
Lugoff and Elgin areas of Kershaw County.
As for the magnitude, at 2.5, it's right at the base level at which the average person can feel an earthquake. And as of 10:10
p.m., roughly 720 people had already claimed to have felt the rumble it produced.
