The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that Greenback, Tennessee was hit with 4.1 magnitude just after 9am local time.

The quake is reported to have hit just 13 miles southeast of the city with tremors felt as far as 120 miles away.

Residents dotted around affected areas immediately jumped online to share their experiences as the Carolina Weather Group YouTube Page launched a live stream.

“Definitely the worst one i’ve ever felt living here my whole life,” one wrote.

“That was terrifying,” another added.

“I’m here in Tennessee and I feel my house shaking,” a third said as others described their water tanks creating waves.

So far there are no reports of any damage with 4.1m being a minor quake, according to USGS.
