Mystery boom and shaking in Georgia identified as an earthquake

The Extinction Protocol.  Excerpts:

A mysterious boom that shook portions of Appling late Monday was confirmed Tuesday as a minor earthquake, according to Columbia County authorities. The event, which registered a 2.1 magnitude on the Richter scale, occurred at 9:26 p.m. and was located near Columbia and Appling-Harlem roads, Emergency Services Director Pam Tucker said. The temblor was not listed on national earthquake monitors, but was confirmed by a seismologist at Savannah River Site, she said. “This would explain the loud boom and shaking that many residents felt,” she said. Earthquakes occur periodically in the area, which lies along the fall line, where the Coastal Plains and Piedmont regions meet.

Will this be an one-off event, or the beginning of a new cycle of booms?  As one commenter pointed out, "Why all the sudden are these earthquakes being accompanied by booming sounds?"  She's right:  It's weird, and rather recent.  Rumbles and cracks, yes.  The booms, and those weird skyquakes and apocalypse trumpets are new.  And disconcerting, as Core-De-stabilization-or-Magnetic-Pole-Shift-as-possibility should be considered.
