So standing in the kitchen this morning, a little after 9am

[TNNurse]

First it was the sound and then windows rattling and we looked at each other and said "Earthquake"?. We live in East TN and are probably less than 8 miles from the epicenter. Magnitude 4.1. Thursday we had ping pong ball hail and now an earthquake, not sure what we will see next.

4. Y'all just couldn't help yourselves, thanks for the chuckle.

We had hail the size of ping pong balls Thursday just before dark. Wondering what will happen next.

6. That is weird

So glad there was no damage (I'm assuming). We had a freak wind storm here in CA a few days ago. No rain, just wind. Enough to break one of our rose bushes with a sturdy stalk off at the root. The whole house was shaking!

7. Swarms of locust and raining frogs.

Payment for Marsha Blackburn.

8. I fear you are correct.

Both senators are idiots and our congressman is just as bad.

10. New

Madrid fault?

[TNNurse]

11. NO, that is west TN, near Memphis.

We are in East TN, the Great Smoky Mountains. Many miles difference.

[Rebl2]

12. OK

13. The weather events were definitely changing when we lived in East TN

Rain events were torrential, damaging. Wind destruction was far more prevalent. There was increased tornadic activity when we lived in the area with a number areas badly affected. That's been repeated since. I saw more hail activity in TN than in any state I'd lived in. The difference? It went from small hail to ping-pong size to smash your car windows size and strength.

I think we'd always counted on the 'valley effect' to protect us from the most severe weather events, and for a number of years it did. But that started eroding a good 6-10 years before we moved back north.

Climate change is wreaking its revenge. Everywhere.

And yes, we had a similar earthquake that rattled the windows and knocked off tchotchkes from their perches.
