| Abstract | A prolonged earthquake swarm sequence started on December 27, 2021, beginning with a magnitude 3.3 earthquake between Elgin and Lugoff in South Carolina, a region with very low prior seismic activity. More than 90 small earthquakes have been reported in this region since then, with the largest magnitude of 3.6 occurring on June 29, 2022. These earthquakes have continued until at least summer of 2023, making this highly unusual for the region. This swarm has had no clear main shock and has no obv |
