2.4 magnitude earthquake recorded in South Carolina Lowcountry
BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — A small earthquake was reported Wednesday morning in the Lowcountry, according to the U.S. Geological Survey and the South Carolina Emergency Management Division. The 2.4 magnitude earthquake happened at 9:57 a.m. about 1.2 miles west of Sangaree in Berkeley County, the USGS said. Small earthquakes are frequent in the Lowcountry and Midland areas of the state. There was a 2.3 magnitude quake in April near the town of Elgin in Kershaw County. A 2.2 magnitude tremor was recorded in March 2024 in Richland County. Prior to that, in August 2022, the USGS issued a rare earthquake advisory for the state, saying a swarm of quakes had 'produced a fairly constant trickle of earthquakes since December 2021.' One of those, a 3.6 magnitude tremor, hit just northeast of Columbia on June 29. * * * Dennis Bright is the Digital Executive Producer at News13. He joined the team in May 2021.
