Re: Earthquake Hits South Carolina
Until April 18, 1906, the Charleston earthquake was the deadliest in US History. Based upon intensities, damage and construction practices, modern estimates placed the shock in the 6.5-7.0 range or about the same as the Loma Prieta 1989 shock and the Northridge shock of 1994 in CA.
