A Saturday earthquake, with its epicenter about 46 miles northwest of Kingsport, rattled Greene County. The shake didn't seem to have much effect here, other than initial puzzlement and rattling.

GreenevilleSun.com reported the incident within 20 minutes of its occurrence, including news details, interesting links to earthquake websites and comments from Greene Countians, many of whom thought their washing machines had gone "haywire," shaking their homes.

"We felt the earthquake," wrote Darla Lane of Old Stage Road to GreenevilleSun.com. "We thought it was just the washer shaking our bed and couch. We live in apartments, and my husband said our apartment was all concrete."

Sharon Miser of Love Street, Greeneville, wrote, "I felt the earthquake. It shook me in my chair. I had some blankets folded up on the foot stool beside me, and they were shaking. At first I thought it was the washing machine spinning, but I did not have anything in the washing machine ... It scared me!!! I finally looked at the Greeneville Sun website to confirm it was an earthquake."

Amanda Preston of Greene County wrote, "My husband Rocco and I were sitting in our living room, when suddenly our wood-burning stove's glass door started rattling. Then we noticed the windows starting making quite a bit of noise. We both stood up knowing there was something wrong. We stared at each other, while we waited for our house to stop shaking and making noise."
