Two low magnitude temblors shook the general area around Summerville and Ladson Sunday, causing no damage, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey.
The first one occurred about 2 a.m. near Ladson. It registered about a 1.5 on the Richter scale, according to the USGS. The second occurred later that evening, about 2 miles from Summerville around 6 p.m. and registered a 1.4 on the Richter scale.
No damage was reported. Anything under a 2.0 is considered a microquake and is unlikely to be felt by anyone, according to the U.S.G.S.
