According to the USGS, the 3.5 magnitude earthquake affected several areas in East Tennessee, including Greenback, Maryville and Seymour.

The epicenter of the earthquake was located 30 miles southwest of Knoxville, close to Greenback, Tennessee.

Residents felt the tremors hundreds of miles away, despite the fact that the core of the earthquake was close to Knoxville.

Residents in metro Atlanta, including as far south as Newnan, informed Atlanta News First that their walls and furniture trembled during the earthquake.

In the last one month, 21 smaller-magnitude earthquakes have been registered in Tennessee.

Meanwhile, the Tennessee earthquake occurred at 9:04 in the morning Eastern Time. Meanwhile, several people took to social media to report about the Tennessee and North Georgia earthquake.
