I think we all know that the earthquake was GM lot full of Corvettes being sucked into the earth again.

A 4.1 to us Californians is just a typical bean burrito stomach rumble. Par for the course.

LOL, but could be related ...

First earthquake I ever experienced was living in Greenville, SC - I thought it was just my bad hangover until I saw the news the next day.

What year was that, the last one i remember being reported despite me sleeping through was in 2002 or maybe 3.... few people know that South Carolina is fairly active (for the east coast) with Charleston more due for a 8.0 or greater than Cali. 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.
