We are about 30 miles south west of Knoxville, TN and we felt it this morning. Nothing scary and certainly not enough to run out of the house....but it was felt.

Definitely rocked the western North Carolina (Asheville area).

My Granddaughter lives just south of Raleigh and said she didn't feel it, but may have been asleep. She said some of her friends said they felt it.

I didn't feel it here in Orlando. The OP should put the date 8/11/20 in the title.

I'm about 270 miles from the epicenter. Just a little shaking I barely noticed. Sounded like a dump truck driving down the road.

Northern California just had a big 6.4 earthquake this morning...

Since 1995 living in Colorado, previously lived in Northern California and before that Southern California. Been through two major earthquakes in 1971 and 1989 where our power was out for several days. Hopefully, these folks get the help they need quickly.

A 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Northern California's Eureka area early Tuesday, the US Geological Survey said, leaving at least two people dead, drawing reports of damage to roads and homes, shaking residents from their sleep and leaving tens of thousands without electricity.

I didn't feel a thing here. But at 0234 hrs, I was sound asleep. This is the first I heard about it.

Magnitude 5.3 earthquake felt in New Mexico
The USGS reported a 5.3 magnitude earthquake near Midland, Texas Friday. It was felt as far away as Roswell, Hobbs, and Ruidoso in New Mexico.

I thought the dog was bouncing around in the bed. It felt like someone was pushing on the side of the bus to make it rock. I didn't know until that evening when my daughter got off from work. She didn't even realize it was a quake. She said she felt nothing in the building she was in. As you can see, it was not big news.
I used to live in a county that was on a minor fault line. Most of the time, the only reason we knew there had been a tremor was because the Coweeta Hydrologic Lab would say something about the stronger ones. Most of the area didn't even realize the county was on or near a fault line until the county commissioners got the brilliant idea that the county, which depended heavily on tourism, would be the idea place for a nuclear storage dump. Coweeta Lab was very vocal about their opposition and that's when we found out just how many little and larger tremors the county experienced in an average year. Which put an end to the county commissioners lining their pockets.

I didn't feel anything in Pahrump, but the normally tranquil Devils Hole in nearby Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge (home to the Devils Hole Pupfish) usually responds to earthquakes anywhere in the world. Here's it's reaction to the Humboldt County earthquake.

So that's what happened. I thought DW was on a tear again.
