Meteorologists at television news stations in Georgia and North Carolina reported feeling the quake as well.

According to the Associated Press, Georgia resident Gabriela Reilly was making waffles with her husband when they felt their entire home shake.

“Our ceiling fan started shaking for about 10 seconds,” she said. “I thought a giant aircraft had flown low right over the neighborhood, but my husband said, ‘No, that was definitely an earthquake!’”
