GROVETOWN, Ga. – The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that two small earthquakes rattled the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) on Wednesday evening, sparking brief concern but causing no damage or injuries.

The first tremor, registering at a magnitude of 2.0, struck near Grovetown at approximately 9:19 p.m. A second quake, slightly weaker with a magnitude of 1.9, followed just 15 minutes later, at 9:34 p.m., in the same vicinity.

According to local authorities, no reports of structural damage or personal injuries have been received. Residents in the area may have felt the shaking, but officials confirmed that both quakes were relatively low in intensity.

The USGS noted that while earthquakes of this magnitude are not uncommon in the region, they rarely result in significant consequences. Despite the minor nature of these tremors, experts reminded local residents to remain aware of potential aftershocks, although none have been predicted at this time.

The incidents have prompted some questions from the community, with residents wondering whether the quakes might be a sign of larger seismic activity in the area. However, geologists indicated that these types of small earthquakes are typically isolated events, with little indication of a larger-scale risk.

As of Thursday morning, local emergency services confirmed they had received no further reports related to the quakes, and all systems appeared to be functioning normally.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed and report any unusual occurrences, though authorities maintain that there is no immediate cause for concern following these events.
