We've also had reports of its movement being felt across west Knoxville, Grainger County and folks in Blount County as well.

We're also finding out the quake is bigger than first thought.

"It has been reviewed by a seismologist as they got more information, both the location and the magnitude predicted it as a 2.2, more information became available and showed it as a 2.6," said Rafael Abreu from the USGS said.
