I'm in between thunderstorms now and it was dead calm and no thunder or lightning when it happened. Very strange big thud or boom, only with no noise, but yet it shook my house abruptly. I even looked for cracks in the walls and ceilings to see if my house shifted or something, very weird!
My house sits in the middle of 5 acres of woods, but kind of on the side of a hill so that's why I was looking for big trees that might've fallen nearby or my house shifting somehow because of the wet ground from previous rains.
I'm not in an earthquake zone either, so very strange, I've never felt anything like it before.

Dan, I live in N. Georgia myself. If the photo is truly of a dam near your home, it looks like you live near Canton. Anyway, from what I understand we DO live in an earthquake zone, and we have had two or three since 1999 or so. Not big ones, mostly in the 1 to 3 range. There is a fault that runs through White, Georgia. I also read somewhere that the Southeast USA is second only to California in earthquake possibilities. It's just that it has been a long, long time and it's not in our consciousness. Let's keep it that way!
