A 4.0-magnitude earthquake struck near Greenback, Tennessee, at 9:04 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The quake occurred about 30 miles southwest of Knoxville at a depth of nearly 25 miles, classifying it as shallow.

Mild shaking was felt across Tennessee, Georgia, and the Carolinas, with thousands reporting it to the USGS. Social media buzzed, especially in Atlanta, where users described 10 seconds of tremors. Despite the widespread reports, Knoxville officials noted no damage. Experts say there’s a 23% chance of a stronger aftershock (magnitude 3+) this week. Though not known for major quakes, Tennessee lies in the active East Tennessee Seismic Zone. The state has recorded 21 quakes in the past month, with only three over magnitude 3 this year. Saturday’s quake was Tennessee’s seventh magnitude 4.0+ since 1900.
