A magnitude 2.8 earthquake near Dyersburg, Tennessee

For once we had an earthquake during the weekday.  A few moments ago there was a magnitude 2.8 earthquake near Dyersburg, Tennessee.  The quake showed on the "Did You Feel It?" map for the quake. If you feel it respond to the website and add to the felt map. This data is important as it shows the effect of the earthquake upon human activity and as data to help calibrate earthquake site response.  We sometimes get phone calls here at CERI reporting quakes when the best repository for the information is on the website where the data can be correlated.  For more information on the quake visitDyersburg earthquake.

Note: since the first post it has been upgraded to a magnitude 2.8. thanks to Holly Withers our  Research Associate who does analysis on seismic data  for the information.
