According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the 2.0 magnitude earthquake occurred around 4:29 a.m. Monday slightly west of Brevard, which is about 6.1 miles west of Rosman, North Carolina. The quake was detected approximately one kilometer deep.
This marks the fourth small earthquake in western North Carolina so far this year, with all being centered in Transylvania County.
An earthquake of that magnitude is unlikely to be felt or cause any damage, but it is detectable by seismographs.
The USGS estimates that millions of such minor quakes are detected every year.
A 4.1 magnitude earthquake previously hit east Tennessee back in May, resulting in parts of western North Carolina and the Upstate feeling the impact.
