Strange Sounds – January 5, 2022<\/p>\n

Yet more earthquakes have struck near South Carolina\u2019s capital city, the ninth and tenth in a series of rumblings that have caused geologists to wonder how long the convulsions might last, or if they could possibly portend future, more serious seismic activity.<\/p>\n

Early Wednesday, a 2.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Elgin, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northeast of Columbia, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was measured at a depth of 0.5 kilometers, officials said. About 7 hours later, another earthquake hit the area, this one with a magnitude of 1.5, according to officials.<\/p>\n

That area, a community of fewer than 2,000 residents near the border of Richland and Kershaw counties, has become the epicenter of a spate of recent seismic activity, starting with\u00a0a 3.3-magnitude earthquake on Dec. 27.<\/a> That quake clattered glass windows and doors in their frames, sounding like a heavy piece of construction equipment or concrete truck rumbling down the road.<\/p>\n

Since then, a total of nine more earthquakes\u00a0have been recorded nearby,<\/a>\u00a0ranging from 1.5 to Wednesday morning\u2019s 2.6 quake. No injuries or damage have been reported.<\/p>\n
