The US Geological Survey is upgrading an natural disaster felt across the area to a magnitude 3.2.
That quake registered as a 0.5 on the Richter Scale, according to USGS, and was also recorded near Lincolnville and Ladson.
Twitter user Nova Marie compared the Augusta quake to rain in Los Angeles - "infrequent, short, harmless but so unheard of, the locals lose their minds". It began in the vicinity of Killebrew Avenue and Woodward Avenue off Bungalow Road, near the intersection of Peach Orchard Road. So far, no one has reported any damage to homes.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office reported multiple calls about the quake but that call volume has since decreased, according to Augusta-Richmond County Emergency Management Agency.
