The same day that California was rocked by a 6.5 MAG quake on the Richter Scale, Charleston, SC has 3 minor tremors, with the main shock registering a 3.01 MAG on the Richter Scale (and subsequentially felt by myself and portions of the area).
The first quake actually occurred (as a foreshock) early in the morning registering only a 1.81, 10 km down. The main shock, registering a 3.0, occurred at 6:50 pm about 5.6 km down, and was felt by myself with a small explosion in the distance and a quick jolt on the ground shaking things for only a couple of seconds. The aftershock occurred 3 minutes later about 1 km deeper and registered 1.48 (not felt).
