Earthquakes keep coming as an early morning earthquake hits the District of Columbia

Hours after it was announced, there would be a virtual town hall meeting to discuss all the earthquakes that have hit the Midlands recently, and another one has been confirmed to have occurred in the Columbia area.

A 1.3-magnitude earthquake was recorded at 3:17 a.m., according to the South Carolina Department of Emergency Management.

The seismic activity was in the Elgin region, 1.5 miles below the surface, according to the US Geological Survey.

This was the 27th confirmed earthquake in Kershaw County in the past 19 days, according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.

Both earthquakes of magnitude 3.5 and 3.6 were included in that wave of aftershocks and aftershocks. These were the two largest earthquakes to strike South Carolina in nearly a decade. A magnitude 4.1 earthquake struck McCormick County in 2014.

Anyone who felt an earthquake Thursday morning can report it to the USGS.

It might be old news by the time the Virtual Town Hall takes place on July 27. In this forum, visitors will be able to ask questions to a panel that includes representatives from the DNR, the Department of Emergency Management, the South Carolina Department of Transportation, and the Duke of Energy.

Many will want to know why so many earthquakes occur.

Thursday’s earthquake means that at least 56 people have been detected in Palmetto State since the start of 2022, according to the South Carolina DNR. All but five earthquakes occurred in the Midlands region.

In all, 58 earthquakes have hit the District of Columbia since a 3.3-magnitude earthquake was recorded on December 27, 2021, according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.

No major damage or injuries were reported from any of the recent earthquakes.

Earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or less often go unnoticed and are usually only recorded by a seismograph, according to Michigan Technological University. The school said an earthquake of less than 5.5 degrees was not likely to cause significant damage.

The Geological Survey of the Supreme Committee said earlier that it is typical for South Carolina to experience six to ten earthquakes annually. There have been 83 earthquakes in South Carolina since January 18, 2021, according to the Natural Resources Department of the Supreme Committee.

Scientists have struggled to explain the recent explosion.

The state previously stated that drilling and blasting in mines, seeping through the ground from lakes, or other changes in underground weight or pressure can all contribute to seismic activity, but no one has settled on the sole cause of the Midlands shaking. The state’s Department of Health and Environmental Control said mining activity is not likely to be the cause of the recent earthquakes, because mines in the Elgin area are shallow.

Elgin, located about 20 miles northeast of Colombia and located on a fault line, has been experiencing an unusual earthquake “swarm” for the past several months, leaving some residents feeling uneasy. Officials said last week that the series of earthquakes may be the longest period of seismic activity in the state’s history. But officials said they do not believe a wave of small quakes is an indication that a larger quake may be on the way.

The most powerful earthquake ever recorded was in South Carolina – and on the eastern coast of the United States – a 7.3-magnitude earthquake in Charleston in 1886.

This earthquake killed 60 people and was felt over 2.5 million square miles, from Cuba to New York, and Bermuda to the Mississippi River, according to the Department of Emergency Management.
