A minor earthquake hit Charleston, South Carolina, last week that caused mostly minor damage. No homes were destroyed, and there weren't major injuries as a result. Charleston isn't known as an earthquake hot spot in the U.S. like California is, but quakes do happen there. The most recent one measured a 3.6 on the Richter scale. 3.6 isn't a major event, but cleaning up after it is a royal pain in the neck. The history of the region has been that a small quake, like the one that just happened, is a usual precedent of a much larger one to come. An earthquake rocked Charleston in 1886 that killed upwards of a hundred people and cost millions to repair, and measured between 6.6 and 7.3 on the Richter. The Great San Francisco Quake of 1906, by comparison, was over 9.0 on the Richter. (A 10 has never been seen or recorded in the span of human history, and isn't achievable by atomic blasts.) Earthquakes are tough to predict, because the only indicators that tell of one happening are apparent only right before the event.

Homeowners in Charleston, South Carolina, will be having to do just that. Last week, a small earthquake hit Charleston with a magnitude of 3.6 on the Richter scale. 3.6 isn't a disaster, and the damage caused by the quake has been slight compared to other quakes that have hit the US. Other quakes have hit Charleston before, like one in 1886 that killed over a hundred. The quake that hit just recently was slight, but the history of the region indicates that a quake of that size usually is preceding one that is much larger. The 1886 quake measured, by estimates, between 6.6 to about 7.3 on the Richter scale, about three-quarters the size of the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. Earthquakes are notoriously tricky, if not impossible to predict, as they can't be detected until it is almost too late.
