Two small earthquakes were identified as occurring in Randolph County on Sunday.
The Easter afternoon activity really wasn’t much of the event as they weren’t strong enough for many residents to notice. Damage from the earthquakes hadn’t been reported.
Based on information from the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquakes measured at 2.3 magnitudes and occurred 36 minutes apart between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
The first quake was near Randleman not far from I-74. The second one was detected near Archdale close to what was formerly U.S. 311.
Based on reports, these were the first earthquakes detected in North Carolina this year outside of the mountains.
