I’m betting they never dreamed they would still be at risk for earthquakes.
Earthquakes in Alabama. I never thought I would do a story on that topic.

I swear I heard it. We thought it was thunderÂ
was it around 130 am ? If so we felt it

We escaped California 3 years ago. Been through many strong earthquakes. I laugh because now I deal with tornado threat. I feel about tornadoes the same way some of you feel about earthquakes. It’s just a matter of where you live most of your life and what you’re used to.

I live in Sheffield and I felt a little bit of vibration. I thought then that it felt like an earthquake. Could of been a train though.
Lisa Clifton
Sure did we felt it & thought someone was running on our porch
Some have been saying that we are due a “big” one. Let’s hope this is as big as it gets.
