DID YOU FEEL IT? 2.5 magnitude earthquake recorded in NC mountains

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — An earthquake was reported just outside Asheville Sunday afternoon, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The 2.5-magnitude earthquake was the second of the day to hit the North Carolina and Tennessee mountains.

The first was reported around 3:30 a.m. near Greeneville, Tennessee, which is about 50-miles from Weaverville, North Carolina, according to WLOS.

Officials said it was a small, 2.2-magnitude earthquake.

The second happened just before 4:30 p.m., nearly 13 hours later, in Marshall, North Carolina.

Earthquakes of 2.5-magnitude or less are usually not felt, but officials said they can be recorded by a seismograph.

WLOS reported their viewers have felt small earthquakes before.
