A swarm of earthquakes rattled South Carolina and appeared to be getting more powerful. About 30 quakes have hit the state this year, and geologists are stumped about what’s causing “earthquake swarms” similar to those felt in Southern California.
Two earthquakes hit Elgin, South Carolina, on Wednesday. The first was a magnitude 3.5, and the second 3.6, according to data from the United States Geological Survey. A 3.4 magnitude earthquake hit the state days before, while a stronger 3.9 rattled parts of the Georgia-South Carolina border on June 18.
Wednesday’s earthquakes were the strongest since a magnitude of 4.1 struck the state in 2014.
South Carolina’s Emergency Management Division shared a video of Wendy Bohon, an earthquake geologist at the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology in Washington D.C., who said about 30 quakes struck in the year’s first half. She said the swarm of quakes is different than others because “there is no mainshock, or a larger earthquake that happens first then there are lots of smaller earthquakes that happen afterward … in this case, the swam of quakes are happening a few every week without a large shock.”
Thank you, Dr. Wendy Bohon.
Indeed, shift happens. https://t.co/pBHHALK9XP

The emergency agency also tweeted the state does have several fault systems and is “one of the most seismically active states on the East Coast.” However, some geologists are puzzled at why so many swarms are happening.
“Most earthquakes occur where the earth’s plates come together, and they’re the result of the tension and the stress that builds up as those plates are grinding and moving, slamming into each other. That’s not happening to us here on the East Coast.
“But there are ancient fault lines here from in the past when continents had slammed together … and they are still building up stress and strain but on a much, much slower time scale,” Bohon told the Weather Channel.
“If you can figure that out, you should go get your tux and pick up your Nobel Prize,” Thomas Pratt, regional coordinator of the Geological Survey’s earthquake hazard program, told The State newspaper. “The Eastern United States, in general, is not on a plate boundary, so it’s a mystery in the scientific community why in this exact location, in the middle of a plate, something would trigger this.”
Could the rumblings under ground suggest the next big quake is nearing? The last powerful quake to shake the state was a magnitude 7.3 in 1886.

They’re probably building a bunker for our overlords before WWIII really gets going.
THE LORD is locking and loading for the mother of all global earthquakes…
…as advertised throughout the Book He was gracious enough to transmit to us.
All these proud and mighty towers built in cities around the world? What goes UP…
Nation (ethnos) shall rise against nation (ethnos), kingdom will rise against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in diverse places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.
It’s global warming. Gotta get gas up to 15.00 gallon to stop them. Lol
There was a pretty good sized one in VA in 2011… & the world keeps on turning.
Was in a outdoor meeting just north of Charlotte, tremors lasted around 15 seconds. Had no idea what was happening at first.
I think that one was determined to be Thomas Jefferson spinning in his grave.
Actually driving there, during. thought i was having a flashback. would have been a first, surprisingly.
Thats the problem. You nailed it. The world still turns. Thats the whole problem. If we can stop the earth rotation we can put an end to all this climate change and earthquake bullshit so logically the globalist only need to depopulate on one side of the planet to remove the counter weight that keeps it spinning. Of course we cant make it top or bottom heavy cause we all cant move to the poles so it must be a east west thing. Im sure grateful I went to collage or I wouldn’t be able to understand the problem and solution.
The older 1+ story brick buildings in Chucktown all have “earthquake bars” that run the length of the bldg and have 12″ exterior circular plates secured by bolts. Just between Chucktown, Mt Pleasant & N. Chucktown there are around 375K residents. So, a 7.3 would be disastrous. On summer weekends there’s another 20k+ tourists in the area as well.
BTW, the pattern follows the Cooper/Congaree/French Broad River (same river, w/ 3 names) up into Asheville.
We can only HOPE to have another ’86, where the Ashley Marl turns to pudding again and all of those Damn Yankees in the “Chucktown” Area decide that the Lowcountry just ain’t for them and they move on.
PS- Respectfully, WTF is with the “Chucktown” nonsense? When the Yankees swarmed the area post-Hugo, this “Chucktown” stuff started. Around the same time that the Carolina Yacht Club and the Saint Cecilia Society went for money rather than breeding, Sullivan’s Island became the Hamptons (South), the old Huguenot familes sold out and moved back to their plantations, and every rich fuck north of the Line moved in to “tell us how they do it in Yankeedom.”
To me, a native Charlestonian, the name “Chucktown” conjurs up a woke Disney World. Which I guess is what it has become. Sadly, Beaufort is next…
A native South Carolinian, I lived in Charleston for six years, ending in 1981. I returned to visit in the mid-90s, and was sufficiently horrified by the New Charleston that I now doubt I’ll ever visit again.
Like the Paris of 1970, some things are best preserved in old memories.
Don’t visit unless you like traffic gridlock and tens of thousands of imported self-pretentious people from a rude alien culture of harsh accents, me-first values, zero State loyalty, and unfounded condecending arrogance.
Lost wars and unconditional surrender have serious consequences. Vae victis.
It’s called the New Madrid fault line, known about it for a while.
%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20160824214223
The New Madrid fault line is up near the Ghost in the bootheel of MO. SC would be on the far outer edges if it had a major shift. Memphrica would get hit hard and the Mississippi delta would turn to jelly.
Memphis & Tunica would be a riot zone. As for the Delta, no telling of the levees would hold. Personally, I doubt it. I’d get the hell outta there while possible, even if it means leaving your house unguarded – most Delta counties are 75%+ Afro.
Life beats a dirt nap anyday.
I read a report that said the delta silt is so unstable that it will probably turn to mush when the big one hits and a lot of houses will simply sink into the muck.
I am about 70 mi east of Memphrica, hopefully far enough away that we have stable dirt under us.
well… if you look deeper into Velikovsky’s theory of mass upheaval and the theory of the micronova cycles of stars then pieces begin to fit nicely. As the earth’s mag field weakens and the sun shifted from solar cycle 24 into 25, substantially more UV got through and penetrates to the core. This causes the core to heat, the heat causes expansion and this, of course, includes crustal expansion. This is also the reason for the number of volcano popping off to release this increase in heat at the core.
The plate ‘techtonic’ theory has never been proven; it is simply one more attempt at an explanation that only partly fits what is observed. This also occurs in quantum physics and so many other areas. So science simply shrugs and say the theory must be correct and they are just missing something basic.
This particular event with the sun is cyclical and is as predictable as the solar cycles. The event will cap around the late 2030s, give or take, referenced directly from the cyclical pattern. Unfortunately most of these ‘scientists’ are funded to push a narrative, as are the universities, so science, learning and actual discovery suffers. These piled-high and deeps really are just intellectual fools looking for answers in a book of theories that are mostly wrong.
I am going to spend the entire month deeply studying “Velikovsky’s theory of mass upheaval”.
Thank you so much!

In return, I ask you to consider the Stuckyovich theory of massive bullshit rejection. The theory states that the ground in South Carolina is now rejecting the thousands of tons of bullshit deposited over the past few decades by Lindsey The Dick and Nikki The Cunt. (Names have been altered to protect the guilty.)
Stuckyovich Theory accords with the Word of God way better than Velikovsky Theory.
Thus sayeth THE LORD*: If you pull this shit that I have enumerated plainly and said thou shalt not do, then the land will SPEW YOU THE HELL OUT.
*The New Jersey Standard Bible, Leviticus 18:28.
Sorry, but I must correct your analogy with a literal consequence and biblical precedent..
Numbers 16:32
and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
That must have been one helluva earthquake.
I find it a little suspicious that we have these quakes AND a TS all of a sudden forming and happening at the same time. See my comment above, I’m sticking with it.
“piled-high and deeps”
I see what you did there.
I lived through Sylmar, Northridge, Big Bear, and even 5.5 centered right under my hotel when I was on a business trip to Tokyo. Now living in GA, I’ll start worrying when the quakes get to 5.0 or larger.
Is it time for another mud flood?
