I once read a report that as for quakes in the upstate, that they were very rare before lake hart-well was formed and have became fairly common since then.
No, it was way before that, like right after I graduated from college, so must have been early 1980's. I never knew a time when Lake Hartwell wasn't there, but that is quite interesting. I think Charleston, SC is particularly bad because the soil will "fluidize" in a big quake.
