2nd earthquake in 2 days rattles North Carolina mountains
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Two earthquakes shook the North Carolina mountains two days in a row on Friday and Saturday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Both quakes were relatively small — 2.4 magnitude on Friday and 2.1 on Saturday morning — and both were centered in the same area of Rosman, North Carolina, in Transylvania County. The earthquakes were also near Lake Toxaway. The Saturday quake hit just before 2:20 a.m. about 30 miles east-northeast of Hendersonville. The Friday earthquake struck just after 3:10 a.m., nearly 5 miles from Roseman or about 28 miles north-northeast of Hendersonville. The shaking from each quake did not travel far — with few reports of those who felt the earthquakes. PREVIOUS: First NC-centered earthquake of 2025 strikes Friday morning at 2.4 magnitude: USGS The Friday quake was felt about 25 miles to the east — in an area south of Hendersonville and near East Flat Rock. Saturday morning's quake was felt about 31 miles away, just inside Georgia near Clayton. The pair of quakes happened in the same area and about 50 miles from a 4.1 magnitude earthquake on May 10 that centered just over the North Carolina line in Tennessee. That earthquake was widely felt by people as far away as Charlotte in North Carolina and in other states. PREVIOUS: 39,000 reports from 4.1 magnitude earthquake that shook NC mountains Inland North and South Carolina, and adjacent parts of Georgia and Tennessee, have experienced small earthquakes and rarely suffered damage from larger ones since 1776, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Hendersonville leaders looking to relocate post office
HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – The City of Hendersonville is a step closer to relocating its post office. Leaders say the one they have now is very outdated, doesn't meet the needs of residents, and constantly has lines out the door. In this week's Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, Alderman Mark Skidmore stated that they haven't had a new post office built since Jimmy Carter was president, which was in 1976. Right now, the post office is located at 105 Imperial Boulevard. Skidmore says the building is consistently packed with people. Neighborhood News: Stories impacting your community | Read More There has been a lot of chatter about where the post office will be relocated, but a specific location is not mentioned in the resolution, because the board does not have the authority to make that decision. It's on the federal government. The resolution simply notifies leaders in Washington that the city is in need of a post office, and it gets the process going. Skidmore says another conversation they've floated around is having multiple post offices instead of one larger one. 'There's been a possibility, which I think is a very wise suggestion, that maybe we have two post offices. Keep that one there, and then maybe explore somewhere else, which is fine with us.' As the city continues to have this conversation, they agreed to form a committee that can head up the responsibilities to make this happen. Do you have news happening in your neighborhood?

Missing teen's father demands answers from Sumner County Sheriff's Office for ‘lack of communication'
SUMMER COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — It's been almost 15 months since Sumner County teen Sebastian Rogers disappeared. His case made national headlines, but his father said the search is losing momentum ahead of National Missing Children's Day. 'He is my world. I need him,' Sebastian's father, Seth Rogers, said. 'I need him back with me.' On Friday, May 23, Seth spoke with News 2 at the Sumner County Sheriff's Office. Frustrated and emotional, he said he feels like he's carrying the weight of the investigation alone. 'I don't even know, if a tip comes in, if I shouldn't track it down because I don't know if they can do their job properly because so far, they haven't…Their lack of communication with the public, their lack of communication with me is all telling me that they don't care that my son is missing,' Seth explained. MAY 2025 | YouTubers covering the case of a missing Sumner County teen win some legal battles Sebastian is one of an estimated 460,000 children reported missing every year in the U.S., according to the FBI. Sebastian was just 15 years old when he vanished from his Hendersonville home in February 2024. Initial search efforts involved local law enforcement, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the FBI, but those physical searches have since shifted to focus on the investigative side. The last press conference on the case was more than a year ago. 'I would love to see them actually conducting more searches,' Seth said. 'I'd like to have some communication on the tips that have come in, just with me, so that I know that when a tip comes in, I'm not following up on the job they're supposed to do.' FEBRUARY 2025 | 'We are going to find him': Sumner County teen Sebastian Rogers missing for one year 'I'm trying to find my son,' he added. 'They are trying to solve a case. You can't solve a case if you don't find my son.' Seth told News 2 only one detective is actively assigned to the case, adding that he is often left to chase down the same leads also sent to law enforcement. 'We need more than just one set of eyes on this case,' Sebastian's father said. 'It all falls on my shoulders to ask people to help find my son,' Seth continued. 'My son means something to me. These people should be doing their job.' DECEMBER 2024 | Search for Sebastian Rogers captivates Middle TN and social media throughout 2024 News 2 reached out to the sheriff's office, which provided the following statement: First and foremost, our thoughts remain with Sebastian Rogers. I want to assure the community that this investigation remains a top priority for the Sumner County Sheriff's Office. We are aware of the community's concerns. Please know that behind the scenes, a tremendous amount of work has been done and will continue. Some aspects of the investigation are not be visible to the public due to the sensitive nature of the case. We continue to ask for the public's help. If you know something — no matter how small it may seem — please come forward. Every tip matters. Thank you for your continued support, patience, and care for Sebastian. DECEMBER 2024 | Father of missing Sumner County teen says he has renewed faith in law enforcement investigation In his push for progress, Seth said he has contacted lawmakers and is even drafting federal legislation aimed at reforming how child protection agencies and the AMBER Alert system handle missing child cases. 'It's a federal oversight law on places like CPS, DCS, the AMBER Alert, getting it redone and taking out of people's hands that don't care about the children,' Seth said. Out of the roughly 460,000 children who are reported missing in the U.S. every year, Seth told News 2 that every one of those cases deserves attention — including Sebastian's. 'A parent demands answers. We demand answers because our heart is missing,' Seth said. ⏩ , 15, was reported missing on Feb. 25, 2024 from the Beech area in Hendersonville. Sebastian is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, 120 pounds with dirty blond hair. He was last seen on Monday, Feb. 26 near Stafford Court wearing a black sweatshirt and black sweatpants, said the TBI. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) originally issued an Endangered Child Alert for Sebastian on the morning of Feb. 26 as multiple agencies took to the area to look for him. Based on additional investigative information developed during the search, the TBI issued an AMBER Alert for Sebastian on the afternoon of Feb. 27. An AMBER Alert is issued when there is reasonable belief by law enforcement that an abduction has occurred and the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death, per the DOJ. Multiple agencies including the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Tennessee Highway Patrol, Nashville Fire Department, City of Hendersonville's first responders, Sumner County Sheriff's Office and Shackle Island Volunteer Fire have assisted in the search for Sebastian.
